Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Progressive collapse is a disastrous phenomenon in which the failure of some key structural members leads to the failure of other members; this leads to the partial or even entire collapse of the structure. The progressive collapse of structures has attracted significant attention since the 9/11 terrorist attack in the US in 2001. This Special Issue, entitled “Progressive Collapse of Structures”, aims to highlight current research innovations, developments, and future perspectives in progressive collapse. The research topics include but are not limited to case analyses of collapse; structural collapse risk assessment; robustness of building structures; collapse-resistant mechanisms; progressive collapse testing; progressive collapse analyses; progressive collapse design guidelines; improvement of collapse performance; and buildings subjected to impact, explosion, and fire.
We look forward to receiving a great variety of the latest research results and new ideas for further development of progressive collapse, ranging from collapse risk assessment, mechanism, and numerical analysis to performance improvement. This Special Issue will cover every aspect of the industry, and we warmly welcome you to share your views and findings with us.
