tructural identification has continued to develop into a versatile tool for developing high fidelity analytical models of large civil structures that accurately reflect the measured in-service response. The...
he I-35 Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota catastrophically failed during the evening rush hour on August 1, 2007, collapsing to the river and riverbanks beneath. In the years prior...
rogressive collapse indicates the partial or total collapse of structures caused by the local damage of structural members arising from an abnormal load. To induce ideal collapse behavior, the progressive...
This paper studies the performance based vulnerability assessment of midrise masonry structures against seismic activity using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS). Abstract: thorough four-step...
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...
This paper regarding the use of Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) to study progressive collapse was recently published in the proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering held this summer in London, UK. The authors study the effects of infill walls in...
