Abstract:Summary
In the present paper, the collapse resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) beam‐column sub‐assemblages subjected to a middle column removal scenario is investigated on the basis of experimental tests and numerical calculations. For the experimental programme, three one‐third scale substructures are designed with two types of longitudinal steel rebar to observe the influence of rebar detailing on the global structural behaviour. The structure under consideration is composed of a two‐bay beam, and a middl… Show more
