The project focuses on developing a new design approach for buildings that uses fuse-based segmentation to prevent the spread of failures during extreme events. By isolating sections of a structure, it aims to enhance safety and resilience against catastrophic failures.
Extreme events often cause local-initial damage to the critical elements of building structures, followed by a cascade of further failures in the rest of the building; a phenomenon known as “progressive collapse”.
Current design philosophies are based on giving buildings extensive continuity, so that when a critical element fails its load can be re-distributed among the rest of the structure.
However, in certain situations (e.g. initial failure of several columns) this extensive continuity intro…
