Abstract:Although concrete slabs have an extensive use in structures due to their architectural and executive benefits, the suitability of their behavior against the progressive collapse phenomenon has always been questioned.

After validation of the modeling method, parts of the designed floor are exposed to increasing downward and uniformly distributed loading d… Show more
