Progressive collapse, which is referred to as the collapse of the entire building under local damages, is a common failure mode happened by earthquakes. The collapse process highly depends on the whole structural system. Since, asymmetry of the building plan leads to the local damage concentration; it may intensify the progressive collapse mechanism of asymmetric buildings. In this research the progressive collapse of regular and irregular 6-story RC ordinary moment resisting frame buildings are studied in the presence of the earthquake loads. Collapse process and collapse propagation are investigated using nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) in buildings with 5%, 15% and 25% mass asymmetry with respect to the number of collapsed hinges and story drifts criteria. Results show that increasing the value of mass eccentricity makes the asymmetric buildings become unstable earlier and in the early stages with lower number of the collapsed hinges. So, with increasing the mass eccentricity in building, instability and collapse of the entire building occurs earlier, with lower potential of the progressive collapse. It is also demonstrated that with increasing the mass asymmetry the decreasing trend of the number of collapsed beam and column hinges is approximately similar to the decreasing trend in the average story drifts of the mass centers and stiff edges. So, as an alternative to a much difficult-to-calculate local response parameter of the number of collapsed hinges, the story drift, as a global response parameter, measures the potential of progressive collapse more easily.

To analyze the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum square tube beam under a bending load, a finite element simulation for the four-point bending test has been performed. Using an aluminum tube beam specimen partly inserted with two steel bars, the local buckling deformation near the center of the tube beam was induced. The maximum bending load and the bending collapse behavior obtained from the numerical simulation were in good agreement with experimental results. Using a combination of the four-point bending test and its finite element simulation, analysis of the local buckling and the accompanied bending collapse behavior of aluminum tube beam could be quantitative accomplished.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of circumferential location of local wall thinning defect on the collapse behavior of an elbow. Thus, the present study conducts three-dimensional finite element analysis on the 90-degree elbow containing a local wall thinning at intrados, crown and extrados of bend region and evaluates the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow under various thinning shapes and loading conditions. Combined internal pressure and bending moment are considered as an applied load. The internal pressure of $0\~20MPa$ and both closing and opening mode bending are employed. The results of analysis show that the reduction in collapse moment of the elbow by local wall thinning is more significant for a defect locating at crown than for a defect locating at intrados or at extrados. Also, the effect of internal pressure on the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow depends on the circumferential location of thinning defect and applied bending mode.

In this paper the bending collapse characteristics of 60 series Al rectangular tubes were studied with a pure bending collapse test rig which could apply the pure bending moment, there occured three kinds of bending collapse modes - local buckling, delayed buckling, tensile failure - depending on the b/t(width/thickness) ratio and material properties. Experiment results are compared with the results of finite element method.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bend angle on the collapse behavior of locally wall thinned pipe bends. For this purpose, the present study performed three-dimensional finite element analysis on the 30-, 60-, and 90-degree pipe bends with local wall thinning at the center of intrados, extrados, and crown, and evaluated the collapse moment for different thinning dimensions under closing- and opening-mode bending with a constant internal pressure. The results showed that, for intrados and extrados wall thinning, the reduction in the collapse moment due to local wall thinning became significant with decreasing bend angle of pipe bends. This effect of bend angle was enhanced with increasing thinning dimensions, and it was clearer fur opening-mode bending than for closing-mode bending. For crown wall thinning, however, the effect of bend angle was unclear and was less sensitive to the change of wall thinning shapes.

The progressive collapse phenomenon in structures has been interested by civil engineers and the building standards organizations. This is particularly true for the tall and special buildings ever since local collapse of the Ronan Point tower in UK in 1968. When initial or secondary defects of main load carrying elements, overloads or unpredicted loads occur in the structure, a local collapse may be arise that could be distributed through entire structure and cause global collapse. One is not able to prevent the reason of failure as well as the prevention of propagation of the collapse. Also, one is not able to predict the start point of collapse. Therefore we should generalize design guides to whole or the part of structure based on the risk analysis and use of load carrying elements removal scenario. There are some new guides and criteria for elements and connections to be designed to resist progressive collapse. In this paper, codes and recommendations by various researchers are presented, classified and compared for steel structures. Two current design methods are described in this paper and some retrofitting methods are summarized. Finally a steel building with special moment resistant frame is analyzed as a case study based on two standards guidelines. This includes consideration of codes recommendations. It is shown that progressive collapse potential of the building depends on the removal scenario selection and type of analysis. Different results are obtained based on two guidelines.

본 논문에서는 주변 단순 지지된, 용접된 편면 보강판의 압축 최종 강도를 구하는 간략한 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 우선, 용접에 의한 변형 및 잔류응력과 같은 초기결함을 간략한 방법으로 추정하고, 이 초기결함이 존재하는 보강판의 붕괴 양식을 가정하여, 각 양식에 대해 최종 강도를 구하고, 여러 붕괴 하중에 때해 최소치를 택함으로 보강판의 붕괴 하중을 얻는다. 보강판이 최종 강도 상태에 달하기까지 붕괴 과정을 다음과 같이 가정한다. (1) 보강판의 전체 좌굴$\rightarrow$보강재의 굽힘에 의한 전체 붕괴 (2) 판재의 국부 좌굴$\rightarrow$판재의 국부 붕괴$\rightarrow$보강재의 전단면 항복에 의한 전체 붕괴 (3) 판재의 국부 좌굴$\rightarrow$보강재의 굽힘에 의한 전체 붕괴 (4) 판재의 국부 좌굴$\rightarrow$판재의 국부 붕괴$\rightarrow$보강재의 비틂 변형(tripping)에 의한 전체 붕괴 붕괴 하중 계산을 위해 Rayleigh-Ritz 법에 기초한 탄소성 대변형 해석을 수행하고, 소성 붕괴선을 가정한 소성 해석을 수행하여 탄성 해석선과 소성 해석선의 교점을 최종 강도로 택한다. 본 방법을 비선형 유한요소법과 비교해 보면 극히 짧은 계산 시간에 양호한 결과를 산출한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 본 방법에 의한 해석 결과를 통해 판재의 국부 거동에 미치는 보강재의 비틂 강성의 효과를 고찰하였고, 보강재의 굽힘에 의한 전체붕괴와 비틂 변형(tripping)에 의한 전체 붕괴의 기준이 되는 보강재의 형상을 제시할 수 있었다.

해저배관의 안전성 검토를 위하여 수압에 의한 소성붕괴 저항성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 해저배관에 부가되는 주하중을 수압으로 설정하여 배관의 직경대 두께비와 ovality 변화가 배관의 소성붕괴 변화에 미치는 영향을 유한요소해석을 통하여 평가하였다. 내압은 외압에 의한 소성붕괴 저항성을 향상시켜 소성붕괴 발생 깊이를 증가시켰으며, 동일 ovality에서 local ovality를 갖는 배관은 global ovality 보다 더 깊은 붕괴 깊이를 나타내었으며, 소성붕괴 발생 깊이는 직경대 두께비의 증가 또는 ovality 증가에 따라 감소하였다.
