This paper investigates transient dynamic loading and response of glazing panels. This is a complex phenomenon dependent upon material properties, structural arrangement and proximity to the explosive source. To date, modelling glazing breakup and post-fracture...

Progressive collapse is, according to GSA (2003), a situation where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse. Since the experimental studies are costly and difficult to...

Blast loading and its interaction with structures is a complex phenomenon even in the simplest of cases and modelling its effects is a non-trivial task. This complexity is increased when dealing with long duration blast due to the drag loads associated with the...

The present paper proposes modern approaches, nonlinear static and dynamic analysis procedures based on the Applied Element Method, to assess a progressive collapse problem of a RC frame structure with infill walls. Comparisons between the results of modeling...
