3 Background and Motivation REC2010 is focused on robust design in the context of hazards, risk and uncertainty. Then, what is robustness in nature?

4 Background and Motivation Structural Robustness the ability of a structure to withstand local damage that may arise by accidental actions without global failure that is disproportionate to the triggering cause. the tolerance to damage from extreme loads or accidental loads. A damage tolerant (i.e. robust) system would be forgiving, fail-safe and foolproof.

5 Background and Motivation Progressive Collapse A collapse that is triggered by localized damage that cannot be contained and leads to a chain reaction of failures resulting in a partial or total structural collapse, where the final failure is disproportionate to the local damage from the initiating event.

13 Background and Motivation Motivation of This Research How to perform nonlinear dynamic progressive analysis based on alternative load path still relies heavily on engineering judgment. The problem of column removal and its effects is very complex. Few researchers have considered the effects of the duration and the instant of element removing on damaged structures. How to evaluate the ultimate bridging-over capacity and impact resistant ability of the areas upon and below the removed elements still poses a difficult problem that has been explored by few researchers.

15 Vertical Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis Used as a baseline step to determine the capacity of a structural system when one load carrying member is suddenly lost. The loads that cause progressive collapse of a structure: Primary load: the action that causes the structural element to fail, such as blast pressure due to explosion and vehicular impact; Secondary loads: result from internal static and dynamic loads, are due to sudden changes in the load path through the structure geometry caused by abrupt loss of one or many load carrying members;

16 Vertical Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis In order to simulate the phenomenon that one load carrying member is abruptly removed: The member forces should be suddenly removed after a certain time had elapsed while the gravity load remained unchanged; The stiffness matrix of the system needs to be suddenly changed; However, This may cause difficulty in the analytical modeling process!

17 Vertical Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis Modeling of sudden removal of a load carrying member: All member forces are obtained first from the structural model subjected to the applied load; Then the structure is re-modeled without a column with its member forces (P, V, and M) applied to the structure as lumped forces to maintain equilibrium position; The progressive collapse analysis starts from the moment that the structure is already deformed by the applied load, which reflects the loading situation quite realistically.

18 Vertical Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis Loading scheme in vertical nonlinear dynamic analysis Load D+0.25L Load p 0 P design t 0 t 1 Time t 0 t 1 Time Vertical load Unbalanced load A B C D The effects of the duration of element removing are considered by applying the unbalanced force to the remaining structure in sub-steps; The failed column is removed within the time interval (t 0, t 1 ).

19 Vertical Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis The main procedure of vertical nonlinear dynamic analysis Firstly, apply the gravity load; Secondly, remove the column from the unloaded structure; Finally, use nonlinear dynamic analysis. Control criteria The yielding state of the structure; The ultimate state of the structure; The collapse state of the structure.

23 Vertical Incremental Dynamic Analysis Vertical IDA A series of vertical nonlinear dynamic analyses under different dynamic secondary loadings are conducted; A step function multiplied by D L is used to simulate the dynamic loading applied to the column-removed building; The magnitude of the step function is increased gradually till extremely large deflection occurs at the column-removed point; The P-Delta effect and large displacement are considered in the nonlinear dynamic analysis; The peak displacement response of each time history is collected to construct the load-displacement envelopes for the incremental dynamic analysis.

25 Vertical Incremental Dynamic Analysis Two element-removing scenarios in Vertical IDA Case (a) Case (b) Case (a) is regarding to the remaining structure above the removed element; Case (b) is concerned with the remaining structure below the removed element.

26 Vertical Incremental Dynamic Analysis Two element-removing scenarios in Vertical IDA Case (a) Case (b) For case (a), we need to remove the lost column firstly, then apply the load α(d+0.25l) to the floor which is below the lost column. For case (b), we need apply the load α(d+0.25l) to the floor which is above the left column in the second floor, then remove this column, and finally apply the dynamic analysis to the damaged structure.

32 Vertical NDA: Motivation To evaluate the progressive collapse potential of the model structure, which was designed according to the conventional design code without considering progressive collapse.

33 Vertical NDA: Criterion Yielding state of the structure the yielding of the rebars in tension Ultimate state of the structure the strain of core concrete at the edge reaches its ultimate strain Collapse state of the structure the dynamic instability of the structure or the divergence of the program.

The main response of the damaged structure is the vertical vibration in the damaged bays after column B1 is removed. The damaged structure also vibrate in the horizontal direction, this is mainly due to the geometric asymmetry of the structure itself after column B1 is removed.

47 Conclusions The structural damage only happens in the damaged bays, where plastic hinges occur at the ends of the beams, and the plastic deformations are rather small, so the design structure will not collapse. The two adjacent beams supported by those columns become one large-span beam, the motion of each layer is consistent with each other. If one floor of the structure has collapsed, then the structure will collapse when a column below the collapsed floor is removed, and the damage range is between the collapsed floor and the floor which is supported by the removed column. The structure has the ability to resist the dynamic impact caused by the collapse of upper structures as long as the critical member below the lost column does not fail.
