When an explosion occurs within reinforced concrete shear wall (RCSW) structures, the overpressures and duration of blast loads will be amplified by confining effects enclosed walls, which can cause a more severe damage to structure than free air (FAE). However, research on RCSW structures subjected internal explosions (IEs) are still limited no benchmark tests exist. To provide for studying resistance IEs, three Trinitrotoluene (TNT) IE field were conducted in this study 2-story, 3×3-bay,...
Majority of progressive collapse incidents concrete flat plate structures were caused by slab overloading in the form punching shear failure at a slab-column joint, which exhibit distinctive resistance mechanism from those triggered column losses. Relevant studies on scenario are scarce. To fill this gap research and to broaden perspective different modes, an experimental test was conducted 1/3-scale 2 × 2-bay substructure specimen applying increased downward uniform load slab, until...
A slab-column joint in a flat plate structure may exhibit upward or downward punching shear (UPS and DPS) failure when subjected to different abnormal loading conditions. This can cause distinct residual deformations of the slabs, which turn influences behavior consequent progressive collapse entire structure. paper presents two experimental tests on 2×2-bay, 1/3-scaled substructure specimens. Both were conducted phases. In first phase (LP-1), interior column specimens UPS-Sub DPS-Sub was...
