Steel Structures Subjected to Dynamic Loads in Connection with Progressive Collapse. Dynamic Buckling

摘要

When a building is subjected to local damage there is a risk that the damage will develop into a progressive collapse. One way of reducing this risk is to provide for an alternative load-carrying system. It is however possible that the structure will not sustain the dynamic effects during the transition stage before the alternative bearing system is developed. This report contains a study of the dynamic transition stage, with special reference to dynamic column buckling.
