Introduction. Progressive Collapse Design and Analysis of Multistorey Buildings. Progressive Collapse Design and Analysis of Space Structures. Progressive Collapse Design and Analysis of Bridge Structures. Fire-Induced Building Collapse. Design and Analysis of Buildings under Blast Loading. Conclusion.
Dr. Feng Fu received his PhD from the University of Leeds and his MBA from the University of Manchester. He is a chartered structural engineer, a member of the Institution of Structural Engineers, a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineering. He is currently a lecturer in structural engineering at City University, following his work as a lecturer at the University of Bradford. Prior to that, he worked for several consultancy companies, such as the WSP Group, the Waterman Group, and the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and Research. During his industrial practice, he was involved in the design of extensive prestigious construction projects worldwide. He also gained experience in designing buildings under extreme loadings, and knowledge in designing buildings to prevent progressive collapse.
"This book can be used by students, engineers and researchers as a
unique source, as it contains necessary theories, numerical
procedures, design strategies and use of commercial software. The
real scenario case studies offer insight and understanding of this
most disastrous form of structural failure."
—Jianqiao Ye, Lancaster University, UK"It is of major practical
interest and I would definitely recommend it for design engineering
offices and lecturers in structural mechanics."—Philippe Bouillard,
Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium"This book attempts to
advance the state of the art by showing how to create computer
models of large structures that are then subject to an "event" to
see if the subsequent collapse is progressive."— Roger Davies in
TheStructuralEngineer"An excellent introduction to the progressive
collapse of structures that will allow the understanding of the
basic aspects of this phenomenon and help improve structural
designs. … This is a compact and clearly written book that the
reader will find easy to read."
-- Jose M. Adam, in Journal of Performance of Constructed
Facilities, ASCE
