In this paper, a simplified analysis procedure to calculate the column removed point displacement at progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete structures is proposed. The energy absorption capacity under the column missing event is used for formulations. The approximate method is simple to utilize, user friendly, yet accurate. For progressive collapse analysis of structures, linear static analysis, nonlinear static analysis, linear dynamic analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis can be performed. In this paper, the nonlinear static analysis from alternate load path method is used and the reason of initial local collapse has not been considered. In fact, an energy-based method by using load-displacement curve of RC frame and considering the effect of floor slab for the progressive collapse analysis is considered. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the results to three experimental and analytical results. Finally, the effects of the spans length, sections dimensions, material properties and the beams reinforcements of column removed spans on substructure behavior is studied, as well.

The superimposed reinforced concrete wall in which both the walls and slabs are semi-precast superimposed reinforced concrete components has been widely used to construct high-rise residential buildings in some seismic regions of China. This article aims to investigate the seismic performance and reveal the inherent damage mechanism of this wall. Quasi-static tests of two full-scale superimposed reinforced concrete walls with I-shaped cross sections, consisting of the walls in orthogonal directions and two T-shaped cast-in-place boundary elements, were conducted. Through the test, the behavior of the horizontal joints between the wall panels and the foundation; the behavior of the vertical connections between the wall panels of orthogonal direction; the reliability of the connections between precast and cast-in-place concrete; and the lateral load, deformation, and energy dissipation capacities of the specimens are evaluated. In addition, a refined numerical model based on the multi-spring model was adopted to assess the seismic performance of the superimposed reinforced concrete walls with I-shaped cross sections. The reliability of this model was validated through comparison with the experimental data. This study offers valuable experimental data and numerical model references for future seismic performance assessments of superimposed reinforced concrete wall structures.
