Abstract
Progressive collapse is the eventual failure or proportionately substantial failure of a part of a structure caused by the propagation of a local failure from element to element across the system. This might be viewed as the ultimate failure of the structure or the failure of a substantial component of it. The progression of such a collapse may be precipitated by manmade, natural, intentional, or unintentional factors. During this phase, the system in the process of collapse redistributes the loads to prevent the loss of vital structural elements. In this study, SAP2000 was used to examine a reinforced concrete building. The recommendations of the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Defence (DoD) were adopted to anticipate the total amount of collapse. The notion of the study is to take into account the most adverse scenario and suggest the best approach amongst the two, which may help in performing future studies in less time
