TLDR
In this article, a finite element modeling technique is developed to simulate punching and post-punching behavior of flat plates, which is verified against an available punching experiment, however, the experiment did not impose lateral restraints on the slab, but, the punching strength of the same experiment accounting for the effects of lateral restraint is numerically investigated.

Experimental investigation of RC beam-slab substructures against progressive collapse subject to an edge-column-removal scenario

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of critical structural parameters (i.e., the beam height, slab thickness and seismic reinforcement) on the collapse resistance was investigated by analyzing the applied loads, structural deformations and material strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study on the progressive collapse performance of RC frames with infill walls

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between the infill walls and the reinforced concrete (RC) frame members in the progressive collapse process was examined experimentally in two 1/3 scaled, four-bay, two-story RC frame specimens.

Numerical investigation on load redistribution capacity of flat slab substructures to resist progressive collapse

TL;DR: In this article, the load redistribution capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab structures subjected to a middle column loss scenario was investigated using high fidelity finite element (FE) models.

Experimental studies of 3D RC substructures under exterior and corner column removal scenarios

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study starting from RC skeletal frames and culminating in frame-slab systems is conducted under corner and exterior column removal scenarios, which are among the most critical scenarios for analysis of structural resistance towards progressive collapse.

Simplified reliability analysis of punching in reinforced concrete flat slab buildings under accidental actions

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for a simplified reliability analysis and derivation of safety factors for computing the probability of punching of flat slab concrete buildings subjected to accidental loads such as column removal, slab falling from above or blast load is presented.

A plastic-damage model for concrete

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive model based on an internal variable-formulation of plasticity theory for the non-linear analysis of concrete is presented, which uses a new yield criterion which matches experimental data quite well and it accounts for both elastic and plastic stiffness degradations effects.

Plastic-Damage Model for Cyclic Loading of Concrete Structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a new plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to cyclic loading is developed using the concepts of fracture-energy-based damage and stiffness degradation in continuum damage mechanics.

Behavior of Concrete Under Biaxial Stresses

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an extensive series of tests of three types of concrete under biaxial loadings are used to develop stress-strain relations for concrete subjected to bialastic stress states, by means of a decomposition of the stresses and strains into their hydrostatic and deviatoric portions.
