Building Demolition: Positive Aspect of Progressive Collapse

by Applied Element Method | Dec 30, 2009 | Other Publications, Thesis

Progressive collapse is a failure mode of great concern for tall buildings, and it is also typical for building demolition. Engineers are nowadays more and more interested in estimating structures integrity and finding adequate collapse theories, in order to develop...

Progressive Collapse Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridges During Earthquakes

by Applied Element Method | Aug 17, 2009 | Other Publications, Thesis

Previous research on progressive collapse of structures has mainly focused on blast and/or abnormal loadings. Progressive collapse behaviour of structures, especially bridges, caused by earthquake loadings is not as well understood. This lack of information is also...

Response of Bridge Structures Subjected to Blast Loads and Protection Techniques to Mitigate the Effect of Blast Hazzards on Bridges

by Applied Element Method | Jan 30, 2009 | Other Publications, Thesis

BBridges are critical to the transportation system especially at the time of crisis. They are essential for rescue missions, evacuations, and rapid distribution of aid and medical supplies. Bridges are highly visible and accessible structures which make them valued...

The Analysis of Collapse of Deteriorated Framed Buildings

by Applied Element Method | Dec 30, 2008 | Other Publications, Thesis

Progressive building collapse occurs when failure of a structural component leads to the failure and collapse of surrounding members, possibly promoting additional collapse. It is a complex, nonlinear dynamic process characterized by inelastic behavior, large...

Experimental & Analytical Investigation of Progressive Collapse Through Demolition Scenarios & Computer Modeling

by Applied Element Method | Apr 16, 2008 | Other Publications

Within the past 40 years, abnormal loadings resulting from natural hazards, design flaws, construction errors, and man-made threats have induced progressive collapse in structures all over the world. As progressive collapse behavior has become more prominent, it has...

Extending the Collapse Time of Non-Engineered Masonry Buildings Under Seismic Loading

by Applied Element Method | Apr 1, 2008 | Other Publications, Thesis

DThe collapse of non-engineered masonry is one of the greatest causes of death in major earthquake events around the world, yet by definition non-engineered structures remain largely outside of the scope of modern engineering research. For this reason, the majority of...
