Earthquake Pounding Effect on Adjacent Reinforced Concrete Buildings
This paper investigates the pounding different structural systems during earthquakes and their effects on adjacent buildings. Non-linear dynamic analysis is performed using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) to study the behavior including base shear, bending...
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...

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...
Numerical Investigation of the Collapse of the Minnesota I-35W Bridge
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...
Evaluation of Progressive Collapse-Resisting Capability of RC Structures due to Load Redistribution
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...
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...
