Robust Impact Design of Steel and Composite Buildings

摘要

The paper briefly reports on a current European project developing an advanced design concept for steel and steel-concrete composite structures under defined impact scenarios. Focus is given on the robustness of a structure and on the design methods available for the event loss of a column due to impact, where the residual strength method and the alternate load path method are considered in more detail. The two methods are combined within a holistic approach on the behaviour of the global structural response during the loss of a column.
