Progressive collapse of steel frame

Summary

This research is to develop a nonlinear dynamic computational framework to model the progressive collapse of steel frame under abnormal loads.

Supervisor

Dr Hao Zhang.

Research location

Civil Engineering

Program type

N/A

Synopsis

A progressive collapse is characterized as a chain-reaction failure, due to abnormal loading such as terrorist attacks. Current design codes deal with progressive collapse in three ways: structural integrity design, specifying localized resistance and alternate load paths.
