Analysis Procedures For Progressive Collapse of Buildings
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents simple analytical approaches for evaluating progressive collapse potential of lowand mid-rise buildings that could be used in routine design by design professionals. Although nonlinear time history analysis would be more realistic in representing progressive collapse phenomenon, high fidelity structural models to represent nonlinear structural behavior are required to produce accurate results. In routine design of lowand mid-rise buildings, simple static procedures with appropriate acceptance criteria would be more suitable for evaluating progressive collapse potential.

Numerical Study of Progressive Collapse in Intermediate Moment Resisting Reinforced Concrete Frame Due to Column Removal
Progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. Both General Services Administration (GSA) and United States Department of D...

In this study, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of the conventional special moment frame (SMF) systems. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are conducted to follow the progressive collapse of the structures, and their ability of absorb...
متن کاملThe Effect of Local Damage on Energy Absorption of Steel Frame Buildings During Earthquake
Progressive collapse is a kind of failure in which whole or large part of a structure collapse when a local damage occurs and distributes to other parts. Many researchers focus on the column removal analysis and study of the structure behavior under effect of gravity loads, so these investigations are mostly carried out on the tall building. Earthquake inspections indicate structural element ca...
