Multistory steel frames are expected to provide resistance to progressive collapse following local damage or failure caused by extreme loading events. Features like ductility and continuity provide more deformation capacity and redistribution of loads so that the...
This paper investigates the used of the alternate path method in studying the design of structures to resist progressive collapse using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) and its Applied Element Method (AEM) based solver. Abstract: Although there are numerous...
