progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. the current progressive collapse analyses and design methods in guidelines and codes focus on the alternate load path method. this method is suitable especially in the case of blast-induced progressive ...

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 ...

In this study, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of the conventional special moment frame (SMF) systems. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are conducted to follow the progressive collapse of the structures, and their ability of absorb...

Issues of the load-balanced K-shortest path routing are investigated in this paper, including multiple alternative routing strategies, network loss performance, and optimal interval for network status updates. A max-min cost function for alternative path evaluation is applied to Least Loaded Routing model in circuitswitched networks. Two kinds of routing strategy which may update the network st...

Today, link-state routing protocols that compute multiple shortest paths predominate in data center and campus networks, where routing is performed either in layer three or in layer two using link-state routing protocols. But current proposals based on link-state routing do not adapt well to real time tra c variations and become very complex when attempting to balance the tra c load. We propose...

One of the unique traffic features of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks is time-variant and nonuniform load distribution. This feature results in a locally biased congestion problem for the LEO satellite systems. In this paper, we propose a traJjcic load balancing scheme to resolve the congestion problem in such traffic scenarios. The proposing scheme makes use of near-neighbor residual ...

The multipath route establishment uses the method that discovers multiple multi hops communication between source and destination. Multi-path routing can balance the load better than the single path routing in ad hoc networks, thereby reducing the congestion by dividing the traffic in several paths. This research presents a new approach of Multipath Load Balancing with AOMDV routing protocol an...

In creating interconnection networks for parallel computers an efficient design is crucial because of its impact on the performance. A high speed routing scheme that minimises contention and avoids the formation of hot-spots should be included. We have developed a new method to uniformly balance communication traffic over the interconnection network called Distributed Routing Balancing (DRB) ba...

The objective is a routing scheme that chooses almost the shortest path but requires few rerouting changes when some link’s length changes. We construct a probabilistic routing where the probability a path is chosen depends on the path’s length. This probability can be computed recursively using only neighboring nodes. Moreover, when a path’s length changes, one resamples the original random ch...
