Parametric analysis of progressive collapse in high-rise buildings
… tie forces, enhanced local resistance and alternate load path. Each method features its own advantages and disadvantages; however, the alternate load path is currently the preferred procedure as it is accurate and capable of dealing with complex systems. This method is investigated in …

Design and analysis of fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosures with application in upper arm orthosis
… pressure, material properties and applied load (kinetostatics). The accuracy of the model is verified by benchmarking with existing models for a popular McKibben Pneumatic Artificial muscle (PAM) actuator with two helically wrapped families of fibers having equal and opposite orientations. …

Seismic Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Columns and Collapse of Buildings
… strength and ductility in reverse cyclic loading and experience brittle shear failure and loss of axial load carrying capacity. To assess vulnerability to earthquake damage and decide on the required level of retrofit, expected behavior of the columns in terms of strength and deformation …

Alternate Load Paths and Retrofits for Long-span Truss Bridges under Sudden Member Loss and Blast Loads
… bridge design practices, due to the existence of alternate load paths (ALPs), continued stability and progressive collapse-resistance of long-span bridges following the initialed loss of a critical member can be attributed to “redundancy”. However, “redundancy”, also indicated as the post member …
