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...

riverbank erosion, land loss and associated sedimentation are river engineering and water resources management problems of global significance. the ability to predict riverbank stability on eroding rivers is the prerequisite of developing a channel width adjustment model and is essential for estimating riverbank erosion and associated sedimentation. in this research, a detailed model for stabil...

In this study, the tensile and compressive behaviors of pure and hybrid composite laminates reinforced by basalt–nylon bi-woven intra-ply fabrics were experimentally investigated. Epoxy resin was used as the matrix material. The purpose of using this hybrid composite is to obtain superior characteristics by using the good strength property of basalt fiber with the excellent toughness of ny...

Abstract Out-of-plane mechanical properties of the riveted joints restrict performance wing box assembly airplane. It is necessary to investigate pull-through composite/metal in order guide riveting design and ensure safety assembly. The progressive failure mechanism composite/aluminum joint subjected loading was investigated by experiments finite element method. A damage model based on Hashin-...
