Hard Guidance on Preventing Disproportionate Collapse
Disproportionate collapse is a pressing issue in current design
practice. Numerous causes are possible - especially forms of
extreme loading, such as blast, fire, earthquake, or vehicle
collisions. But it is the mechanism and its prevention which are of
especial interest and concern. After the World Trade Center
collapse in 2001, interest was sparked, and it is now imperative
for a design engineer to have sufficient knowledge on both the
analysis and design against disproportionate collapse. Detailed
structural design guidance for preventing this has been developed
in Europe and the US - such as BS5950 in the UK, and guidance from
the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration
in the US. However, Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent
Disproportionate Collapse is the first systematic text in the
market to help design engineers or structural engineering students
to properly understand this guidance. Covers the design and
analysis of a structure to prevent disproportionate collapse
Provides an understanding of disproportionate collapse problems for
different structures under different loads Contains detailed
knowledge on the design and progressive collapse analysis of
complex structures Incorporates ABAQUS (R), ETABS, SAP2000, and
Highlights 3D Modeling Techniques As progressive collapse analysis
is a distinctive and complicated procedure, it normally requires an
ability to use a modern commercial finite element package, and
Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse
features a detailed introduction to the use of FE programs such as
ABAQUS (R) in progressive collapse analysis. In addition, case
studies are performed using 3D FE models based on various types of
structures such as multi-storey buildings, long-span space
structures, and bridges. These models replicate real collapse
incidents and prestigious construction projects, such as
progressive collapse analysis of the Twin Towers, structural fire
analysis of World Trade Center 7, blast analysis of the Murrah
Federal Building and progressive collapse analysis of the Millau
Viaduct, which help designers to fully understand the failure
mechanisms and effective mitigation methods in practice.
