Incorporates ABAQUS ®, ETABS, SAP2000, and Highlights 3D Modeling TechniquesĪs 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 ® in progressive collapse analysis. Contains detailed knowledge on the design and progressive collapse analysis of complex structures.Provides an understanding of disproportionate collapse problems for different structures under different loads.Covers the design and analysis of a structure to prevent disproportionate collapse.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. 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. But it is the mechanism and its prevention which are of especial interest and concern.Īfter 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.
Numerous causes are possible – especially forms of extreme loading, such as blast, fire, earthquake, or vehicle collisions. Hard Guidance on Preventing Disproportionate Collapseĭisproportionate collapse is a pressing issue in current design practice.
