Collapse scenarios of WTC 1 & 2 with extension to generic tall buildings (2006)
Usmani, Asif, Flint, Graeme, Jowsey, Allan, Roben, Charlotte, Torero, Jose L
This paper presents a summary of the author’s investigation into the collapse of tall buildings. A large number of computational analyses have been carried out at the University of Edinburgh (UoE)...

Tall building collapse mechanisms initiated by fire (2006)
Usmani, Asif, Roben, Charlotte, Johnston, Louise, Flint, Graeme
This paper introduces the hypothesis of two possible failure mechanisms for tall buildings in multiple floor fires. This paper extends the previous work done on the WTC towers by investigating more...

Behavior of Structures in Fire and Real Design - A Case Study (2006)
Lamont, Susan, Lane, Barbara, Flint, Graeme, Usmani, Asif
A great deal of understanding into the behaviour of composite steel-concrete structures in fire has been developed since the Cardington frame fire tests (UK) 1990s. This has now been broadened so...

Fire Induced Collapse of Tall Buildings (2005)
This research was designed to investigate possible mechanisms that fires could initiate that might lead to collapse of a tall building of similar design to the WTC Towers. It was not designed to be a...
