Ahmed Khalil, Ph.D., P.E., M. ASCE will be presenting a paper entitled, “Nonlinear Dynamic Impact Analysis of Collapsed Debris Using Applied Element Method” at Structures Congress 2018 on Friday, April 20 from 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM in room 202B...
Ambient vibration measurements and 3-D nonlinear time-history numerical modeling are used to assess the retrofitting measures conducted in a 6-story unreinforced masonry building (URM) built in the end of the 19th century in Switzerland. Retrofitting measures were...
Progressive collapse is a catastrophic partial or total failure that mostly occurs when a structure lose a primary structural component or more like a column or any vertical load-resisting component. This loss could be as a result of a car accident, explosion of a...

The paper investigates the role of beam-to-column connections in mitigation the progressive collapse of multi-story steel frame buildings in case of column loss. On this purpose, a set of moment frames with different beam-to-column connections is designed following...
