Improving the Structural Robustness of Multistory Steel-Frame Buildings
This paper investigates the used of the alternate path method in studying the design of structures to resist progressive collapse using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) and its Applied Element Method (AEM) based solver. Abstract: [dropcap style="font-size: 60px;...
Numerical Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Columns Subject to Coupled Uplift and Shear Forces Induced by Internal Explosions
This paper investigates the effect of time variant coupled uplift forces and lateral blast pressures on the vulnerability of reinforced concrete columns when subjected to internal explosions using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS). Abstract: [dropcap...
World Demolition Awards 2013 – Fabio Bruno Construçoes wins the Explosive Demolition Award
he 2013 Explosive Demolition Award was collected by Fabio Bruno Pinto and was presented by Dan Costello. Fabio gained the Award for safely performing the risky implosion of three reinforced concrete...
Computer-Aided Assessment of Progressive Collapse of Reinforced Concrete Structures according to GSA Code
building is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary vertical structural element fails, resulting in the failure of adjoining structural elements, which cause further structural failure, leading...
