Influence of Sudden Column Loss on Dynamic Response of Steel Moment Frames under Blast Loading

author

Abstract:

Modeling buildings response to blast and subsequent progressive collapse interested more and more researchers during the past two decades. Due to the threat from extreme loading, efforts have been made to develop methods of structural analysis and design. In this paper, progressive collapse capacity of steel moment frames was first investigated using alternate load path method, then a nonlinear dynamic analysis was carried out to examine dynamic response of the steel frames in blast and sudden column loss scenario. The structural response of the building under sudden loss of column for different scenarios of column removal, with or without external blast loading was assessed in detail. According to results progressive collapse potential are strongly dependent on location of column loss. Loss of column can affect overall response of structure under external blast loading. The obtained results provide better insight into the influence of sudden column loss on dynamic response of steel moment frames under blast loading.

A PRACTICAL WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION FOR MOMENT FRAMES UNDER COMBINED LOADING

This article introduces three simple ideas that lead to the efficient design of regular moment frames. The finite module concept assumes that the moment frame may be construed as being composed of predesigned, imaginary rectangular modules that fit into the bays of the structure. Plastic design analysis aims at minimizing the demand-capacity ratios of elements of ductile moment frames by induci...
