Disproportionate Collapse Resistance of Timber Beam-column Connections
Disproportionate collapse occurs when a structure collapses globally as a result of localised initial damage, such as element removal. Multi-material beam-column connections in timber post-and-beam buildings provide deformation capacity, continuity, and ductility necessary to form alternative load …

Behavior and performance of steel moment-framed buildings subject to dynamic column loss scenarios
Progressive or disproportionate collapse occurs when localized structural damage leads to widespread collapse or failure of a structure. Although the loss of any structural component in a building has the potential to initiate progressive collapse, structural columns in steel buildings are …

Blast Performance of Hollow Metal Steel Doors
… such as walls, columns, and beams, to prevent a disproportionate collapse of the entire structure. Secondary structural systems and non-structural components, such as blast resistant doors, are typically outside the focus of standard building design. Components such as blast resistant doors are …

Time-dependent response of flat plate structures under high sustained load
… that may eventually lead to partial or complete collapse. In the past decade, previous research has considered disproportionate collapse by looking at the instantaneous removal of one member. However, the overall time-dependent response of the member and how that response can lead to structural …
