Evaluating Measures of Structural Robustness
The investigation of structures concerning their susceptibility to progressive collapse has attracted increased attention in the last decade. The topic is still largely a field of research at present. Neither is there a uniform theory of progressive collapse and collapse resistance, nor exists agreement about the used terms. Enhancing collapse resistance — the short form for resistance against progressive collapse — is the overall design goal in progressive collapse design. According to collapse resistance is defined as the insensitivity of a structure to accidental circumstances, that is, to unforeseeable and low-probability events. Accidental circumstances and their possible effects on the structure as well as insensitivity must be defined and quantified by design objectives. Collapse resistance is a property that depends on both local and global structural features as well as possible causes of initial failure (accidental circumstances). Collapse resistance can be addressed by event control, protection, local resistance or structural robustness.
