Methods of Assessing Progressive Collapse-Resisting Capacity

Abstract:

The progressive collapse of the buildings is an extremely harmful disaster, which always leads to serious loss of life and property. It has been one of the hotspots of the civil engineering study. The progressive collapse of the buildings includes a throng of questions: material nonlinearity, geometric nonlinearity, contact-impact problem, so there are still many problems need to be further study, In order to get a kind of method which is feasible, dependable and efficient, to assess structural progressive collapse-resisting capacity. The research of the assessment can provide a scientific basis for structural design, reinforcing and transforming old structures.
