Paper Details

Progressive collapse is an occurrence in the frame structures due to which the structural members (for eg. columns)unexpectedly fall out due to impact load. The problem of progressive collapse seized the attention of many researcherssucceeding the fall out of Ronan Point Apartment in London (UK) in the year 1968. Later, the fall down of World TradeCenter (WTC) towers in USA, many professionals started working on development of various guidelines for structural designthat includes progressive collapse resistant structures. In the present work, linear method analysis i.e., linear static methodand linear dynamic method analysis is performed and comparison is made in 18-storey RCC frame building. The progressivecollapse analysis (PCA) is based on US government’s General Services Administration (GSA) guidelines. The analysis wasperformed using structural analysis software, ETABS.The matter of progressive collapse is not talked about in the standards of India till now. Therefore, the main objective of thecurrent work is to give a clear ideal gradual elucidation of static procedures for PCA by performing suitable sampleanalyses using ETABS. The main aim of this current work is to explain & generate consciousness about the progressivecollapse of the building in an easy way among practicing professionals
