This book was released on 2013 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREVENTION OF BUILDING AGAINST PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE: According to the modern scenario, most of the structures follow progressive collapse phenomenon. Even though buildings are designed to resist for all probable loads without any failure of structural member, they fail occasionally due to insufficient and poor design and construction techniques, especially for extreme and abnormal loads. This book deals with the analysis and design of G+3, G+ 5, G+ 7 and G+12 (with 10 different cases) storey buildings in SAP-2000 by performing Non-linear Dynamic Alternative Path Method. The variation of base shear and spectral acceleration and displacement of buildings along with deformations of the beams and axial deformation of columns over the height of the structure had evaluated & analysed and its effects on the load redistribution has also discussed, identified and characterized with the removal of column at various positions. The book will has immense benefit in structural designing of buildings against progressive collapse failure.

Download or read book Behaviour of Building Structures Subjected to Progressive Collapse written by Bo Yang and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behaviour of Building Structures Subjected to Progressive Collapse gives in-depth and up-to-date quantitative and numerical analysis of building structures against progressive collapse. It does so at various levels, including bare steel joints, composite joints and sub-assemblages and frames under quasi-static loading conditions. The book provides analysis of the force transfer mechanisms of composite structures and reinforced concrete structures, along with detailed numerical models that shed light on the effects of critical parameters on progressive collapse resistances. It includes direct design methods that take into account various collapse-resisting mechanisms. The collapse of the World Trade Center in New York has spurred extensive experimental study and numerical analysis of the structural behavior of buildings under progressive collapse scenarios. Although design guidelines have been published by governments, most are missing up-to-date numerical and experimental results, quantitative accounts of force transfer mechanisms, and numerical guidelines. Offers in-depth analysis and numerical modeling for building structures against progressive collapse Provides analysis of the force-transfer mechanisms of composite and reinforced concrete structures Gives detailed numerical models that shed light on the effects of critical parameters on progressive resistances Includes direct design methods that take into account various collapse resisting mechanisms Offers a comprehensive reference for progressive collapse analysis and the design of building structures

Book Synopsis Parametric Analysis of Progressive Collapse in High-rise Buildings by : Taras Gamaniouk
Download or read book Parametric Analysis of Progressive Collapse in High-rise Buildings written by Taras Gamaniouk and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressive collapse has become a topic of interest in recent years leading to a greater focus on the resilience of structures. The propagation of a local failure can become catastrophic and lead to multiple deaths, injuries and destruction of property. These types of events have been predominant in mid to high-rise buildings under both accidental and intentional circumstances. The dire consequences associated with these types of buildings have fueled research efforts into preventative measures for progressive collapse. Three main design methods have been implemented for the design of progressive collapse: tie forces, enhanced local resistance and alternate load path. Each method features its own advantages and disadvantages; however, the alternate load path is currently the preferred procedure as it is accurate and capable of dealing with complex systems. This method is investigated in detail with a specific focus on nonlinear dynamic analysis. The technique is applied for three different structural systems which are commonly used for high-rise buildings: moment frames, braced frames and truss tube systems. A variety of 2D structural models are analysed for their performance under progressive collapse conditions with variable building parameters. The results of the investigation infer that taller buildings are inherently better at preventing progressive collapse as the load is diminished throughout the building allowing less plastic hinges to form. This result was common in all three structural models with the braced frames exhibiting a better structural response to local failure in comparison to moment frame buildings. The study identifies the advantage of implementing hybrid structural frames for the prevention of collapse in high-rise buildings. Integration of moment frames for the lower stories of buildings is shown to be an effective mitigation method for progressive collapse.

Book Synopsis Progressive Collapse Analysis by : Digesh Joshi
Download or read book Progressive Collapse Analysis written by Digesh Joshi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest of Structural engineers is increasing to prevent the progressive collapse of the building. After the collapse of World Trade Center (WTC) Tower many government and private authorities worked on developing design guidelines for progressive collapse resistant structures. Among all the guidelines the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA) and Department of Defense (DoD) is most widely used by structural engineers. Historical background, mechanism, causes and types of progressive collapse is discussed in this book. This book also represents progressive collapse analysis of 4-storey and 10-storey Asymmetrical reinforced concrete (RC) building considering GSA and DoD guidelines. Linear static and dynamic as well as nonlinear static and dynamic analysis is carried out using Alternate Path Method (APM). APM is threat independent method in which critical columns from ground floor and intermediate floor are removed and demand-capacity ratio (DCR) is found out for beams and columns. From the values of DCR potential for progressive collapse is analysed. Different alternatives are explored to mitigate the potential of progressive collapse of buildings.

This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Task Committee on Structural Design for Physical Security of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report provides guidance to structural engineers in the design of civil structures to resist the effects of terrorist bombings. As dramatized by the bombings of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, civil engineers today need guidance on designing structures to resist hostile acts. The U.S. military services and foreign embassy facilities developed requirements for their unique needs, but these the documents are restricted. Thus, no widely available document exists to provide engineers with the technical data necessary to design civil structures for enhanced physical security. The unrestricted government information included in this report is assembled collectively for the first time and rephrased for application to civilian facilities. Topics include: determination of the threat, methods by which structural loadings are derived for the determined threat, the behavior and selection of structural systems, the design of structural components, the design of security doors, the design of utility openings, and the retrofitting of existing structures. This report transfers this technology to the civil sector and provides complete methods, guidance, and references for structural engineers challenged with a physical security problem.

This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is intended to provide owners and practicing engineers with current best practices to reduce the likelihood of progressive collapse of buildings in the event of abnormal loading. The report includes a discussion of an acceptable risk approach to progressive collapse, which involves defining the threat, event control, and structural design to resist postulated event. Practical means for reducing risk for new and existing buildings are presented. An extensive review is provided of the design methods used to enhance a buildings resistance to progressive collapse. These include the indirect method (providing sufficient tie forces), the specific local resistance method (designing key elements to withstand abnormal loads), and the alternate load path method (allowing for redistribution of load in the event of the loss of a key member). Design considerations for different structural materials are summarized. The methodology for evaluating and mitigating progressive collapse potential in existing buildings is also discussed. Three appendices provide supporting information. Appendix A presents a worldwide review of progressive collapse provisions in various national design standards. Appendix B identifies knowledge gaps related to progressive collapse that require research. Appendix C provides case studies of progressive collapses. This document is not intended to provide step-by-step design guidance for practicing engineers; however, applicable design standards are referenced and summarized in Appendix A.
