Progressive Collapse Analysis

In this paper, a simplified analysis procedure to calculate the column removed point displacement at progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete structures is proposed. The energy absorption capacity under the column missing event is used for formulations. The approximate method is simple to utilize, user friendly, yet accurate. For progressive collapse analysis of structures, linear static analysis, nonlinear static analysis, linear dynamic analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis can be performed. In this paper, the nonlinear static analysis from alternate load path method is used and the reason of initial local collapse has not been considered. In fact, an energy-based method by using load-displacement curve of RC frame and considering the effect of floor slab for the progressive collapse analysis is considered. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the results to three experimental and analytical results. Finally, the effects of the spans length, sections dimensions, material properties and the beams reinforcements of column removed spans on substructure behavior is studied, as well.
