چکیده
The paper presents an analytical formulation of an element removal algorithm based on dynamic equilibrium and the resulting transient change in system kinematics. The algorithm is implemented into an open-source finite element code, is numerically validated using a benchmark problem with simple element removal criteria, and is able to capture the effect of uncertainty in member capacity. Realistic element removal criteria are introduced for mode-dependent gravity load collapse of seismically deficient and retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) columns. An application is presented using a RC 3-bay, 3-story frame previously tested on a shaking table. In this application, comparison between the computationally predicted and experimentally observed collapse modes is presented giving confidence in the developed analytical formulation.

Numerical Study of Progressive Collapse in Framed Structures: A New Approach for Dynamic Column Removal (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Progressive collapse is a situation where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse. Hence, the total damage is disproportionate to the original cause. The most common local failure in framed structure is assumed to be column failure. In this paper, a new approach for dynamic column removal in framed s...
متن کاملProgressive Collapse Mechanisms of Brittle and Ductile Framed Structures
In this paper, we study the progressive collapse of three-dimensional framed structures made of reinforced concrete after the sudden loss of a column. The structures are represented by elastoplastic Euler-Bernoulli beams with elongation-rotation failure threshold. We performed simulations using the discrete element method considering inelastic collisions between the structural elements. The res...
متن کاملParametric study of the progressive collapse of 2D framed structures
In this paper we study the response of 2D framed structures made of reinforced concrete to the sudden removal of columns. For comparative reasons, the 2D frames are considered as part of 3D structures with same overall structural mass and external load potential. In particular, we study two sets of 2D frames, with different height-bay ratio λ of the structural cells. Each set counts 3 frames wi...
متن کاملEffect of Structural Height on the Location of Key Element in Progressive Collapse of RC Structures
After the failure of an element in a structure, its loads should be redistributed on the other elements and the structure must provide some new paths to carry the load. If such new load paths are not provided, collapse progression will begin in the structure. As the beginning of progressive collapse in a structure is more sensitive to the missing of an element, the location of that element is m...
متن کاملPROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE ANALYSIS OF RCC STRUCTURES
The study aims to investigate the progressive collapse behaviour of RCC building under extreme loading events such as gas explosion in kitchen, terroristic attack, vehicular collisions and accidental overloads. The behavioural changes have been investigated and node displacements are computed when the building is subjected to sudden collapse of the load beari...
