The developments in construction make it
compulsory for architects to plan the high rise structures in RCC.
Unfortunately due to some reasons like gas explosion, terrorist
attack, fire etc. high rise structures undergoes some major
component failure. As the major component fails, sometimes part
of the structure or whole structure tends to collapse. This
behavior of the structure is called as progressive collapse.
Progressive collapse may be a chain reaction of failures that
circulates either throughout or some of the structure lopsided to
the first local failure. The progressive collapse of building
structure is commenced when one or more vertical load carrying
members are removed. One of the important characteristics of
progressive collapse is that the final damage is not related to the
initial damage. In this project it is proposed to carry out
progressive collapse analysis of regular and irregular structures.
Structural model of building has been fashioned din ETABS and
loads are applied as per GSA guidelines, for evaluation of
progressive collapse nonlinear static method of analysis has been
used. The analysis is done using ETABS 18 software and using
codes of analysis, IS 1893: 2016, IS 456: 2016. Joint
displacements, axial force, bending moment are evaluated. In all
cases progressive collapse of internal column is more critical as
compared to other cases.
