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...
