This book was released on 2024-09-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the notorious terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in 2001, researchers and engineers have been forced to review the existing research works and standards in resisting the progressive collapse of structures. From then on, the design of structure against progressive collapse has tended toward quantitative design, rather than qualitative design. The collapse of the COVID-19 epidemic isolation hotel in Quanzhou, China, in 2020 and the vertical collapse of a 12-story apartment in Florida, United States, in 2021 have aroused an upsurge of the research on progressive collapse. More experimental and theoretical works have been focused on this area. This book addresses this issue and provides a valuable reference for the progressive collapse analysis and design of building structures. - Reviews latest references systematically in terms of experiments, simulation, and theory - Introduces different test equipment used in the tests of progressive collapse and also modeling techniques used in the numerical studies of progressive collapse - Includes performance prediction theories used in the analysis of progressive collapse - Comprises considerable information on the tests and simulation and theoretical studies collected from the authors' research in the last 10 years

Download or read book Improved Value For Load Increase Factor In Progressive Collapse written by Yousef Ghaffari and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressive collapse is a situation when one or more key structural elements fail resulting in the failure of adjoining structural elements and, in return, leading to partial or total collapse of the entire building. One method of reducing the likelihood of a progressive collapse situation is to have structures designed with high redundancy so that a higher level of force distribution can take place after the failure of key structural elements. For an accurate evaluation of the structural behavior in a progressive collapse scenario, a nonlinear dynamic analysis (NDA) that considers the geometric and material nonlinearity should be conducted. The goal of this evaluation is to assess whether or not the structure is likely to collapse. The procedure of performing nonlinear dynamic analysis to design structures to resist progressive collapse is complicated; therefore, engineers usually perform simplified static analyses as opposed to conducting computationally expensive dynamic analyses. Codes such as General Service Administration (GSA2003), Department of Defense (DoD2005), and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC2009) allow three types of analysis in the alternate path method: linear static (LSA), nonlinear static (NSA), and NDA. In LSA and NSA, for considering the dynamic amplification effect, gravity loads are increased using a load increase factor (LIF). LIF is equal to two for LSA and NSA, based on GSA2003 and DoD2005. In UFC2009 and GSA2013, the LIF is calculated using code equations. Previous studies show these coefficients are very conservative. Finding the optimal load increase factor (LIF) for both LSA and NSA would be more cost effective in the design of structures to help them resist progressive collapse. In this study, by considering effective variables, the researcher attempted to find an optimal and reliable LIF for steel buildings.

Book excerpt: Advances in Engineering Materials, Structures and Systems: Innovations, Mechanics and Applications comprises 411 papers that were presented at SEMC 2019, the Seventh International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 2 to 4 September 2019. The subject matter reflects the broad scope of SEMC conferences, and covers a wide variety of engineering materials (both traditional and innovative) and many types of structures. The many topics featured in these Proceedings can be classified into six broad categories that deal with: (i) the mechanics of materials and fluids (elasticity, plasticity, flow through porous media, fluid dynamics, fracture, fatigue, damage, delamination, corrosion, bond, creep, shrinkage, etc); (ii) the mechanics of structures and systems (structural dynamics, vibration, seismic response, soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, response to blast and impact, response to fire, structural stability, buckling, collapse behaviour); (iii) the numerical modelling and experimental testing of materials and structures (numerical methods, simulation techniques, multi-scale modelling, computational modelling, laboratory testing, field testing, experimental measurements); (iv) innovations and special structures (nanostructures, adaptive structures, smart structures, composite structures, bio-inspired structures, shell structures, membranes, space structures, lightweight structures, long-span structures, tall buildings, wind turbines, etc); (v) design in traditional engineering materials (steel, concrete, steel-concrete composite, aluminium, masonry, timber, glass); (vi) the process of structural engineering (conceptualisation, planning, analysis, design, optimization, construction, assembly, manufacture, testing, maintenance, monitoring, assessment, repair, strengthening, retrofitting, decommissioning). The SEMC 2019 Proceedings will be of interest to civil, structural, mechanical, marine and aerospace engineers. Researchers, developers, practitioners and academics in these disciplines will find them useful. Two versions of the papers are available. Short versions, intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers, are in this printed book. The full versions of the papers are in the e-book.

Download or read book Proposed Test Program for Evaluating the Progressive Collapse Capacity of Steel Framed Composite Buildings written by Sean Michael Donahue and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of progressive collapse has been an increased concern for structural engineers in recent history. Current practice when designing structures to resist progressive collapse has focused on local strengthening of members and connections, and the addition of extra structural elements to “tie” the structure together. However, typical structures have a degree of inherent robustness that is not currently counted on by designers, which may lessen the need for these additional elements. Many of these elements that add integrity to the structure have not seen extensive experimental testing, and their strength and ductility are not fully understood. In an effort to fill this gap, a test program was designed and implemented to study the response of steel-framed composite buildings to the loss of a column. A prototype building was designed by Walter P. Moore to be consistent with current construction standards and practices. A test building was designed based on this prototype building, with spans and members scaled down slightly to accommodate the test frame. Test specimens consisted of a 2-bay by 2-bay section of the test building (in the case of an interior column loss) or a 2-bay by 1-bay section of the test building (in the case of a perimeter column loss). The effect of the surrounding building was simulated by the construction of a heavy restraining beam that circumscribed the test specimen, providing the restraint that would be present due to neighboring bays. A loading system and test protocol were designed to allow a uniform floor load to be applied to the test specimen while the column support is removed quasi-statically, with the potential for further uniform floor load to be added if the specimen survived column loss.

Download or read book Financial Feasibility of High Performance Low Rise Steel Buildings written by Yolanda Maria Baez Batista and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative performance evaluation including life cycle cost is currently being conducted on a series of conventional and base-isolated case study buildings. Alternative design approaches and their influence in cost were to be evaluated. This investigation is intended to contribute in the development of isolated structures by allowing engineers to communicate the cost of higher performance systems to their clients. The reported effort is part of a larger cost-benefit study for isolated steel buildings, and the purpose of this thesis is to compare initial investment of 3-story conventional and isolated steel buildings and determine how isolation affects the cost of the structure. The relative cost of seismic isolation, as a percentage of the total cost, may be higher in this study than for typical U.S. isolation applications because the relative premium is greater for a short building than a tall building. The cost of isolation layer for this building is in the order of 11.7% to 12.4% of the total cost. Such a large cost premium may be a huge restraint for most owners; therefore, strategies to reduce the isolation premium cost need to be investigated in detail.
