Arresting failure propagation in buildings through collapse isolation
N. Makoond, A. Setiawan, et al.
Building collapses can be catastrophic, often stemming from initial failures that cascade through a structure. This innovative research by Nirvan Makoond, Andri Setiawan, Manuel Buitrago, and Jose M. Adam introduces a hierarchy-based collapse isolation technique that mimics lizard tail autotomy, showing how to prevent widespread disaster in precast reinforced concrete buildings.
