Abstract: Due to the repetitive progressive collapse events, it became necessity to form theories of designs against those cases of loadings. Prestressed reinforced concrete elements become widely used in construction field due to various properties that contribute to...

Abstract: Progressive collapse is defined as either partial or overall failure of the structure due to losing one of the main structural elements. In order to control this chain reaction, it is important to study the main structural elements behavior under column...

Abstract Explosions bring a serious risk of damage or collapse when are produced inside buildings or in the close proximity. As the hazard intensity and possible effects are difficult to quantify, the structure should have the capacity to survive with inherent...
ASI’s paper on the progressive collapse of the Polcevera Viaduct Bridge in Genoa, Italy will be available free for the next 50 days from Engineering Structures. ASI Engineers modeled up the bridge and simulated the collapse using its Extreme Loading for...
Ahmed Khalil, Ph.D., P.E. will be presenting a paper entitled, ” Nonlinear Dynamic Alternative Load Path Analysis of 10-story Concrete Shear Wall Flat Plate Building”, at Structures Congress 2019, Saturday, April 27th from 8:00 – 9:30 AM in the...
On 14 August 2018 at 11:35 AM, a relevant portion (about 243 m) of the viaduct over the Polcevera river in Genoa collapsed, killing 43 people. The bridge was designed in the early 1960s by Riccardo Morandi, a well-known Italian engineer, and opened to the public in...
