Simplified Compression Arch Action Model for R/C Beam-column Assemblages

Fouad B. A. Beshara, Ahmed A. Mahmoud, Osama O. El-Mahdy & Ahmed N. Khater · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2019

A set of analytical equations are developed for calculating the beam-column assemblage flexure action capacity and compression arching action capacity under a middle column removal scenario. The suggested equations covered most of the main parameters affecting the assemblage beha...

Progressive Collapse Potential of Ordinary Moment Resisting R/C Frames

Ahmed N. Khater, Fouad B. A. Beshara, Ahmed A. Mahmoud & Osama O. El-Mahdy · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2019

A nonlinear numerical procedure in joint with suitable constitutive concrete and steel models is proposed to simulate the structural behavior and progressive collapse potential of ordinary moment-resisting frames exposed to a middle column removal scenario. Previous experimental...
