Abstract

Two-dimensional reinforced concrete frames with the storey of different heights are simulated to the column removal scenario to understand the progressive collapse behaviour by using General Services Administration (GSA 2003) guidelines. Numerical modelling of 4-, 8- and 12-storey structures with different analyses procedures were evaluated such as Linear Static Analysis (LSA), Linear Dynamic Analysis (LDA) and Nonlinear Static Analysis (NLSA) using ETABS 2015. The liner results demonstrate the corner column removal and thus make the structure more vulnerable to progressive collapse when compared to the middle column removal and nonlinear results indicate that the progressive collapse of the structures decreases with increasing the height of the storey.
