Progressive Collapse Analysis

Progressive collapse refers to a phenomenon in which a local damage of a primary structural element leads to the failure of partial or whole structural system. To investigate the progressive collapse of structures, nonlinear dynamic procedure leads to more accurate results than static procedures. Nonlinear dynamic procedure is very complicated and the evaluation or validation of its results may be very time-consuming. Therefore using simplified methods are very important. This paper presents a simplified and accurate analysis procedure for progressive collapse analysis of steel structures. The proposed method results show to have good agreement with nonlinear dynamic analysis results. Also, the capacity curve obtained from dividing the accumulated area under the nonlinear static load-displacement curve by the corresponding displacement of the column-removed point is used to predict the progressive collapse resistance of the column-removed structure.

The Oseberg jacket was installed at the Oseberg field in the North Sea during the summer of 1987 and the production started on December 1, 1988. On March 6, 1988, a submarine accidentally impacted with the Oseberg jacket. This paper presents results from the evaluation of the importance of the damage to the overall structural safety. A nonlinear progressive collapse analysis is applied for the safety check. The theoretical computations are verified through evaluation of strain and acceleration time series recorded during the submarine impact. The reduction in the overall structural capacity of the jacket was in the order of 10 percent. However, the local member capacity was significantly reduced and it was necessary to remove the damaged member in order to obtain the initial level of safety.

The results of a four points bending test on a box girder are presented. The experiment is part of series of tests with similar configuration but with different thickness and span between frames. The present work refers to the slenderest plate box girder with a plate's thickness of 2 mm but with a short span between frames. The experiment includes initial loading cycles allowing for partial relief of residual stresses. The moment curvature relationship is established for a large range of curvature. The ultimate bending moment (UM) of the box is evaluated and compared with the first yield moment and the plastic moment allowing the evaluation of the efficiency of the structure. The postbuckling behavior and collapse mode are characterized. Comparison of the experiment with a progressive collapse analysis method is made taking into consideration the effect of residual stresses on envelop of the moment curvature curve of the structure.
