Abstract

To study the effect of failure of load carrying elements i.e. columns on the entire structure; 15 storey moment resistant RC buildings is considered. The buildings are modeled and analyzed for progressive collapse using the structural analysis and design software SAP2000. Normally it has been considered only the failure of primary load carrying members like columns, beams, struts, foundations etc. to understand the progressive collapse scenario. This paper involves the effect of slabs in progressive collapse with the failure of column.
