Reliability assessment of damaged ductile RC frame structures against progressive collapse in close-in detonation conditions

A new approach is developed based upon the alternative load path (ALP) concept to assess the reliability of multi-storey ductile frame structures subjected to one column failure under close-in detonation conditions. This approach is based on a combination of the Monte Carlo Simulation method and an...
