Static and dynamic responses of reinforced concrete structures under sudden column removal scenario subjected to distributed loading

In this paper, static and dynamic experiments on reinforced concrete beam-column frames under single-column-removal scenario applying a multipoint loading method were conducted. One of the objectives was to investigate structural behavior compared with the single-point loading method, which has been...
