[EN] This paper evaluates the robustness of steel-concrete composite floor systems subjected to Corner Column (CC) removal scenario based on numerical simulations. Firstly, a FE model is statically analysed subjected to a ...
Adam, Jose M; Parisi, Fulvio; Sagaseta, Juan; Lu, Xinzheng(Elsevier, 2018)
[EN] Extreme events (i.e. terrorist attacks, vehicle impacts, explosions, etc.) often cause local damage to building structures and pose a serious threat when one or more vertical load-bearing components fail, leading to ...
[EN] This paper presents the numerical assess of the robustness of a seismic-resistant steel building with self-centering moment resisting frames against progressive collapse. The numerical analyses were carried out using ...
