Progressive collapse of structures [electronic resource]
Starossek, Uwe
Progressive collapse of structures [electronic resource] - London ICE 2009 - eBook
1 Introduction -- 2 Typology of progressive collapse -- 3 Current design procedures -- 4 Collapse -- 5 Design methods -- 6 Applications -- 7 Measures of robustness and collapse resistance -- 8 Conclusions
The progressive collapse of a structure is characterised by a disproportion between a comparatively minor event or local failure and the ensuing widespread collapse. Different structural systems exhibit different degrees of susceptibility to progressive collapse and such differences are neglected in modern design procedures based on reliability theory. This book gives engineers the practical, systematic framework they need to anticipate the risk of progressive collapse and apply this knowledge to design and assessment procedures.
