Progressive Collapse Analysis

The strain rate effect can influence the seismic responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures because the constitutive relationship of concrete and rebar is rate-dependent. This paper carries out progressive collapse analysis to research the influence of strain rate effects on collapse-resistant capacity, collapse mode, and collapse path of the RC frame structure. A progressive collapse simulation program for the reinforced concrete (RC) structure with a static and dynamic constitutive relationship is coded individually using the user subroutine VUMAT and then implemented in the advanced finite element program ABAQUS. The good agreement between experimental and simulation results proves that the coded subroutine is reliable. With the coded subroutine, by conducting progressive collapse analyses of a four-story RC frame structure under earthquake, the effect of strain rate on the response is investigated. The numerical results demonstrate that the collapse-resistant capacity of the structure is underestimated when the strain rate effect is neglected. It is shown that strain rate effects influence the collapse mode and collapse path of the structure. Therefore, strain rate effects should be considered in the progressive collapse analysis of the RC frame structure.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

Progressive collapse is the failure of the whole structure caused by local damage, which leads to significant economic and human losses. Therefore, structures should be designed to sustain local failures and resist subsequent nonproportional damage. This paper compared four procedures for a progressive collapse analysis of two RC structures subjected to a corner column loss scenario. The study is mainly based on the methods outlined in the current Russian standard (linear static (LS) pulldown, nonlinear static (ND) pulldown, and nonlinear dynamic), but also includes LS and NS pushdown procedures suggested by the American guidelines and linear dynamic procedure. We developed detailed finite element models for ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS/LS-DYNA simulations, explicitly including concrete and reinforcement elements. We applied the Continuous Surface Cap Model (MAT_CSCM) to account for the physical nonlinearity of concrete. We also validated results obtained following these procedures against known experimental data. Simulations using linear static pulldown and linear dynamic procedures lead to 50–70% lower results than the experimental because they do not account for the nonlinear behavior of concrete and reinforcement. Displacements obtained from the NS pulldown method exceed the test data by 10–400%. It is found that correct results for both RC structures can only be found using a nonlinear dynamic procedure, and the mismatch with the test data do not exceed 7%. Compared to static pulldown methods, LS and NS pushdown methods are more accurate and differ from the experiment by 28% and 14%, respectively. This relative accuracy is provided by more correct load multipliers depending on the structure type.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

The Oseberg jacket was installed at the Oseberg field in the North Sea during the summer of 1987 and the production started on December 1, 1988. On March 6, 1988, a submarine accidentally impacted with the Oseberg jacket. This paper presents results from the evaluation of the importance of the damage to the overall structural safety. A nonlinear progressive collapse analysis is applied for the safety check. The theoretical computations are verified through evaluation of strain and acceleration time series recorded during the submarine impact. The reduction in the overall structural capacity of the jacket was in the order of 10 percent. However, the local member capacity was significantly reduced and it was necessary to remove the damaged member in order to obtain the initial level of safety.
