Nonlinear Dynamic Response of a Precast Concrete Building to Sudden Column Removal

Robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is an ongoing challenging research topic in the engineering community. During an extreme event, the loss of vertical load-bearing elements can activate large-deformation resisting mechanisms such as membrane and catenary actions in beams and floor sl...
