Abstract:The progressive collapse of the building structures due to abnormal loads has attracted global attention in recent years. Many studies in the literature have been dedicated to the analysis and design procedures for progressive collapse resistance, and several technological solutions have been developed for progressive collapse retrofit. However, many studies are based on simple models and their validity and possibility to generalize the research results to current practice are rather limited. Moreover, there a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
