Abstract: |
The overall structural response to local failure has become an issue of attention for certain types of large-scale structures. The significance of such considerations is discussed here. A progressive collapse study of a multi-span prestressed concrete bridge is presented. The analysis strategy, the results obtained, and the ensuing impact on the design of this bridge are discussed. |
