Progressive Collapse Assessment of Precast Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Applied Element Method
Abstract: Due to the repetitive progressive collapse events, it became necessity to form theories of designs against those cases of loadings. Prestressed reinforced concrete elements become widely used in construction field due to various properties that contribute to...
