This paper presents a full-scale experimental study of two precast concrete moment-frame assemblies, each comprising three columns and two beams. The assemblies
This paper presents alternative load path analyses of a 5-bay by 5-bay, 10-story prototype reinforced concrete moment frame building under column loss scenarios
Alternative load path analysis is the primary approach for evaluating the potential for disproportionate collapse in structural design. In this approach
