Reliability of collapse simulation – Comparing finite and applied element method at different levels

Reliability of collapse simulation – Comparing finite and applied element method at different levels

Sep 11, 2018

Numerical prediction of progressive collapse of buildings due to extreme loading is still a challenging task. However, increased computational power makes it nowadays possible to analyze not only small-scale connections and mid-size building elements, but also full...
Research and Practice on Progressive Collapse and Robustness of Building Structures in the 21st Century

Research and Practice on Progressive Collapse and Robustness of Building Structures in the 21st Century

Jul 20, 2018

Extreme events (i.e. terrorist attacks, vehicle impacts, explosions, etc.) often cause local damage to building structures and pose a serious threat when one or more vertical load-bearing components fail, leading to the progressive collapse of the entire structure or...

The Applied Element Method and the modelling of both in-plane and out-of-plane response of URM walls

Jun 1, 2018

TThe Applied Element Method (AEM) is a relatively recent addition to the discrete elements methods family. Initially conceived to model blast events and concrete structures, its use in the modelling of masonry structures subjected to earthquake actions is steadily...

Using the applied element method for modelling calcium silicate brick masonry subjected to in‐plane cyclic loading

Mar 26, 2018

The response of calcium silicate unreinforced masonry construction to horizontal cyclic loading has recently become the focus of experimental and numerical research, given its extensive use in some areas of the world that are now exposed to induced earthquakes (eg,...

Establishing a Predictive Method for Blast Induced Masonry Debris Distribution Using Experimental and Numerical Methods

Jul 25, 2017

When subjected to blast loading, fragments ejected by concrete or masonry structures present a number of potential hazards. Airborne fragments pose a high risk of injury and secondary damage, with the resulting debris field causing major obstructions. The capability...

New Methodology of Designing for ATFP Using Modified Alternate Load Path Method

Apr 8, 2017

A new methodology to design against disproportionate collapse is proposed for critical building that must be operational after a terrorist attack. The disproportionate collapse analysis uses the alternate path method where the structure must be designed to support the...

The Influence of Structural Arrangement on Long-duration Blast Response of Annealed Glazing

Jul 9, 2016

This paper investigates the influence of structural arrangement on long-duration blast loaded annealed glazing via variable thickness, area, aspect ratio and edge support conditions. Initially, the findings of eighteen full-scale air-blast trials employing 33 annealed...

Numerical Investigation of Reinforced Concrete Barriers Subjected to Blast Loading

Jun 24, 2016

People’s lives are threatened by explosions; the tragic terrorist attacks have forced the governments to consider the importance of dealing with these attacks. With the rising threat of terrorism, protecting critical civil infrastructure such as embassies,...

Effects of Close Range Blasts on Steel Frames. Experimental Testing and Numerical Validation

May 25, 2016

During last decades, there was an increased interest from research and design professionals to provide effective strategies in protecting buildings and other assets from the direct effects of blasts or other incidents. Experimental tests, conducted over a large range...

Separation Strain for Progressive Collapse Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Building Using Applied Element Method

Mar 21, 2016

The basic theory of the applied element method is described in this article, and some modeling techniques for applying this analysis method to the simulation of the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete tall buildings are suggested. Separation strain, which is...
