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...

A method to predict the column size for displacement based design of reinforced concrete frame buildings with higher target inter storey drift is reported here. The column depth derived from empirical relation as a function of given beam section, target inter-story drift, building plan features and common displacement based design parameters is used. Regarding the high drift requirement, a mini...

Ductile design and detailing provisions were revised in 2016 by the Bureau of Indian Standards. It introduced Strong Column Weak Beam Provision (SCWB) for beam-column joint. In this paper, an attempt is done to investigate influence SCWB provision on Longitudinal Rebar Quantity (LRQ) typical columns i.e. Corner Column, Edge Middle seismic Zones III, IV, V six-story buildings. Story-wise variati...

Progressive collapse is a global failure for multi-story building. All stories above the removed column will consequently deform and help redistribute loads initially withstood by column. However, due to cost excessive time be involved, majority of existing experimental researches regarding progressive rely on single-story beam-column substructures or sub-assemblages. To date, how use results f...

This column recounts the evolution of AI research in Korea. I tell a story of agents, that is, humans and machines, that shaped the AI landscape. I sketch the formation and transformation of the AI communities from the 1980s to 2010s. The whole story consists of five periods: settlement, exploration, diversification, unification, and growth. I also describe recent activities in AI, along with g...

in this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. the stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. the considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

In design steel frames, combining semi-rigid and rigid connections can result in better structural performance, particularly seismic locations. this study, the effects of beam-to-column located on performance frame structures are investigated. The analysis uses six twelve-story moment resisting frames (MRSF) with rigid, semi-rigid, dual beam-column connections. These designed according to Egypt...

According to current design practices of steel moment-resisting frames, formation plastic hinges is unavoidable when the frames are supported by conventional column base systems, i.e., exposed-type and embedded-type due unequalized flexural moment demand on top first story columns [1]. Kimura et.al [3] has proposed mid-story pin system avoid from yielding realize beam-yielding mechanism applyin...

Dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. These walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. In this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...
