Abstract

Abstract: Progressive collapse occurs when one of the structural members fails, causing other structural members to fail. This leads to the collapse of all or part of the structure. Failure of a vertical structural member is the most common cause of progressive structural collapse Explosive charges, accidents or deliberate destruction can cause the column to fail and collapse. The analysis is performed by removing the columns at different locations one by one according to General Service Administration (GSA) guidelines, and then evaluating the radius and column DCR values. The results concluded that the column removed from the center is more vulnerable to progressive collapse.
