چکیده
Original scientific paper RC frame structures with specially shaped columns and RC frame structures with rectangular columns are different types of structures with different column sections. A progressive collapse analysis model of RC frames was proposed using the beam-column element and joint element based on the program OpenSees. Progressive collapse performance of the experimental frame was simulated and the calculation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The characteristics of progressive collapse performance of frames with specially shaped columns were studied by comparing the progressive collapse resistance of one frame with specially shaped columns with that of three frames with rectangular columns which were designed in accordance with three different principles. It was observed from the results that the progressive collapse resistance of frame with specially shaped columns and frames with rectangular columns with the same reinforcement under the same seismic fortification, design and application conditions were equivalent. The frame with specially shaped columns had a superior performance to resist progressive collapse.

Parametric Analysis on Collapse-resistance Performance of Reinforced-concrete Frame with Specially Shaped Columns Under Loss of a Corner Column
Abstract: A finite element model is verified accurate enough to simulate the static test of one reinforced-concrete frame with specially shaped columns subjected to the loss of a ground corner column. As the frame sustained loads primarily depending on the beam resisting mechanism in the test, four related parameters, namely the height of beam section, rebar ratio of beam, rebar ratio of slab a...
متن کاملEffect of Initial Local Failure Type on Steel Braced Frame Buildings against Progressive Collapse
In many studies, the alternative load path method (APM) has been used for progressive collapse analysis. In this method, one or several columns of the building are removed and the building response is investigated. This method ignores the initial local failure cause of building and this can affect the structural response. Investigation of ignoring the initial local failure cause of steel braced...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Progressive Collapse Potential in Steel Buildings with Composite Floor System
Abnormal loads due to natural events, implementation errors and some other issues can lead to occurrence of progressive collapse in structures. Most of the past researches consist of 2- Dimensional (2D) models of steel frames without consideration of the floor system effects, which reduces the accuracy of the modeling. While employing a 3-Dimensional (3D) model and modeling the concrete slab sy...
متن کاملComparison between Alternative Load Path Method and a Direct Applying Blast Loading Method in Assessment of the Progressive Collapse
Extensive research has been focused on the progressive collapse analysis of buildings and most of them are based on the alternative path method (APM) with sudden removal of one or several columns. However, in this method the damage of adjacent elements of removed columns under blast conditions was ignored and this issue can lead to an incorrect prediction of progressive collapse. Therefore, in ...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for CFST Columns under Blast Loading
The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...
