Abstract

The paper presents new design solutions for the protection of monolithic frames of multi-storey buildings with flat floors from progressive collapse. At the same time, two variants of strengthening the support zones - the zones of coupling of the plate with the column, providing the perception of peak bending moments in the event of a sudden change in the force flows of the structural system caused by the removal of one of the supporting columns, are considered: the 1st variant-reinforcement with the use of metal insert plates, the 2nd variant - reinforcement with the use of support frames with inclined reinforcing rods. Numerical studies of a fragment of the considered monolithic frame of a building according to the primary design scheme for the effect of the design load and according to the secondary design scheme for the out-of-design impact show the effectiveness of the proposed design solutions for strengthening the interface zones of flat slabs with columns to protect the monolithic frames of buildings from progressive collapse. It is established that in the considered numerical example, the steel consumption when using the option of reinforcing the support zone with frames with inclined rods, other things being equal, is reduced to 46%.
