Evaluation of tensile and compressive membrane action in isolated slab column specimen
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Older flat-plate buildings are susceptible to progressive collapse in which the failure of one slab-column connection can propagate to other connections and cause a full collapse of the building. The most common mechanism ... -
Simplified analysis to predict the behavior of RC beams under collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The behavior of beams under progressive collapse plays an important role in resisting the collapse. This research addresses the complicated behavior of beams under collapse. The goal of this research is to provide an ...
