Book Description
Since the notorious terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in 2001, researchers and engineers have been forced to review the existing research works and standards in resisting the progressive collapse of structures. From then on, the design of structure against progressive collapse has tended toward quantitative design, rather than qualitative design. The collapse of the COVID-19 epidemic isolation hotel in Quanzhou, China, in 2020 and the vertical collapse of a 12-story apartment in Florida, United States, in 2021 have aroused an upsurge of the research on progressive collapse. More experimental and theoretical works have been focused on this area. This book addresses this issue and provides a valuable reference for the progressive collapse analysis and design of building structures. - Reviews latest references systematically in terms of experiments, simulation, and theory - Introduces different test equipment used in the tests of progressive collapse and also modeling techniques used in the numerical studies of progressive collapse - Includes performance prediction theories used in the analysis of progressive collapse - Comprises considerable information on the tests and simulation and theoretical studies collected from the authors' research in the last 10 years

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 836
Book Description
Steel-concrete composite structures, including concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures and concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) structures, have seen a significant increase in use in the modern construction industry due to their superior structural performance compared to conventional steel bare sections and reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Single Skin and Double Skin Concrete Filled Tubular Structures presents state-of-the-art in CFST and CFDST structures and their performance under various static loading conditions. The book establishes a foundation for understanding the structural performance of composite structures by discussing the behavior of CFST and CFDST structures based on experimental and finite element (FE) investigations.

Development of Ultra-High Performance Concrete against Blasts
Author: Chengqing Wu
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing
ISBN: 0081024967
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Development of Ultra-High Performance Concrete against Blasts: From Materials to Structures presents a detailed overview of UHPC development and its related applications in an era of rising terrorism around the world. Chapters present case studies on the novel development of the new generation of UHPC with nano additives. Field blast test results on reinforced concrete columns made with UHPC and UHPC filled double-skin tubes columns are also presented and compiled, as is the residual load-carrying capacities of blast-damaged structural members and the exceptional performance of novel UHPC materials that illustrate its potential in protective structural design. As a notable representative, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has now been widely investigated by government agencies and universities. UHPC inherits many positive aspects of ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) and is equipped with improved ductility as a result of fiber addition. These features make it an ideal construction material for bridge decks, storage halls, thin-wall shell structures, and other infrastructure because of its protective properties against seismic, impact and blast loads. - Focuses on the principles behind UHPC production, properties, design and detailing aspects - Presents a series of case studies and filed blast tests on columns and slabs - Focuses on applications and future developments

Computational Methods for Fracture
Author: Timon Rabczuk
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039216864
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This book offers a collection of 17 scientific papers about the computational modeling of fracture. Some of the manuscripts propose new computational methods and/or how to improve existing cutting edge methods for fracture. These contributions can be classified into two categories: 1. Methods which treat the crack as strong discontinuity such as peridynamics, scaled boundary elements or specific versions of the smoothed finite element methods applied to fracture and 2. Continuous approaches to fracture based on, for instance, phase field models or continuum damage mechanics. On the other hand, the book also offers a wide range of applications where state-of-the-art techniques are employed to solve challenging engineering problems such as fractures in rock, glass, concrete. Also, larger systems such as fracture in subway stations due to fire, arch dams, or concrete decks are studied.
