Methodologies for Progressive Collapse Analysis
Existing building codes contain some guidance on progressive collapse analysis and design. Unfortunately, in most of the U.S. building codes and standards that contain progressive collapse provisions, the available guidance is either vague, or does not define, the key issues that must be addressed. This lack of guidance has resulted in conflicting interpretations as to how one should approach progressive collapse analysis and design. The General Services Administration (GSA) and Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) Progressive Collapse Guidelines [1–3] are currently the most complete sets of criteria in terms of providing usable guidance to the designer. However, only through experience can one identify the most appropriate modeling technique for a particular application.
