This paper studies the performance based vulnerability assessment of midrise masonry structures against seismic activity using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS). Abstract: A thorough four-step performance-based seismic evaluation for a six-story unreinforced...
A building is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary vertical structural element fails, resulting in the failure of adjoining structural elements, which cause further structural failure, leading eventually to partial or total collapse of the structure. The...
This paper regarding the use of Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) to study progressive collapse was recently published in the proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering held this summer in London, UK. The authors study the effects of infill walls in...
