Mitigation of Progressive Collapse Through Optimal Internal Forces Distribution

Abstract: Progressive collapse of a structural system can lead to catastrophic disasters. Most of the literature on this research topic aims to best describe and predict a progressive collapse event; few studies, however, aim to develop techniques to mitigate progressive collapse and, thus, minimize structural system vulnerability. This paper aims to present and validate a Finite Element (FE) model developed to study optimal positioning of stiffening members; previous study of Andrade et al. [1] has shown that stiffenin… Show more
