This paper investigated progressive collapse analysis of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frames that are optimized for carrying structural loads by introducing a unique simultaneous multi-column removal load path using Machine Learning. The investigation includes formulating an integrated computational framework incorporates self-training machine learning algorithm. algorithm is...

This paper investigates the energy absorption response of winding kenaf fiber composite tubes when subjected to an axial quasi-static crushing test. The square composites were prepared firstly by submerging the kenaf yarn into resin bath before it is warped around the mould for different number of layers and fiber orientations. The parameters measured were peak load, mean load and specific ener...

This paper presents a methodology to assess the extent of damage to a multi-storey structure due to localised collapse. This is accomplished through the design of an algorithm, to track progressive collapse in a structure, and its implementation as a computer program. This program is based on the alternative path method of analysis, and involves systematically removing individual elements from ...

Interior brick-infill partitions are usually considered as non-structural components and only their weight is accounted for in practical structural design. In this study, their effect on the progressive collapse resistance of an RC building subjected to sudden column loss is investigated. Three notional column loss conditions with four different brick-infill locations are considered. Column-los...

Case: A 58-year-old male was reviewed for bilateral hip pain 3 years post cardiac transplant, complicated by episodes of acute rejection, steroid induced diabetes, and cytomegalovirus hepatitis. He diagnosed with femoral head osteonecrosis subchondral collapse underwent staged cementless total arthroplasties. re-presented progressive right knee pain. Investigations revealed diaphyseal a rare in...
