Abnormal loading on buildings and progressive collapse :

Abstract

This bibliography on the subjects of abnormal loading and progressive collapse is an annotated listing of articles that have appeared in the technical literature from 1948 through 1973. The entries have been arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within years. Both subject and author indexes have been included. The references listed have been selected as most representative of the historical background and best representing the origin and present state-of-theart of current practice without undue repetition of data.References pertaining to characteristics, frequencies, incidents, tests, design procedures, and regulations for many types of abnormal loadings are included. Among these are various types of accidental impacts, construction loads, explosions, faulty practices, and extreme atmospheric loads.Heavy emphasis was placed on referencing applicable building codes and regulations pertaining to the subjects of progressive collapse and abnormal loadings. This bibliography also contains numerous references to contemporary professional opinion as expressed in editorials and discussions of the subject and, particularly, on the various regulations proposed. A large number of proposed analysis and design procedures, as well as applicable test results, are referenced. In addition to the general reference material, a careful search was made of the ten most recent years (1%4-1973) of Engineering News Record to identiy and annotate possible progressive collapse examples from building failures reported by that publication.

“…However, there are three sources that the reader can review to gain a complete understanding of the body of literature related to progressive collapse. The fi rst is the annotated bibliography of Leyendecker, Breen, Somes and Swatta (1976). This document covers the body of knowledge accumulated during the time frame 1948 to 1976.…”

“…Leyendecker et al [10] studied the loading of such phenomenon. The behavior of the structure subjected to progressive collapse was the topic of some researches [11][12].…”
