Integrity, Robustness and Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Structures Designed for Different Levels of Seismic Loads
Publication: Structures Congress 2014
Abstract
Structural integrity can enhance the robustness and, in turn, progressive collapse resistance of structures. Design loads as well as seismic detailing affect a structure's ability to resist extreme loading. The lateral loads used in design for seismic ground motions and wind loads differ and vary throughout the US. Furthermore, different levels of seismic detailing can be used in structural design. We will evaluate the effects of seismic detailing and the ACI 318 structural integrity requirements on the progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete structures. The main objective of conducting analyses with various design characteristics is to show how structural design and detailing affect the behavior of beams bridging over damaged areas.
