Civil Engineering
In our recent catastrophes, Progressive collapse become an essential behavior that should be researched widely and to be considered by engineers through the design process. The main vertical loss can be caused by different reasons, either blast due to terrorist attack, failure of columns due to extreme earthquake application, or finally, losing a structural element due to high impact resulted from a vehicle or any other moving object. Losing main vertical element due to extreme earthquake excitation is an important and repeated occurrence, However, it didn’t take much attention in progressive collapse recent studies. Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and General …
