Progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initiallocal failure from element to element resulting, eventually, in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it.
--- ASCE 07-10HISTORICAL EVENTS OF PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE
Ronan Point apartment, 1968, UK
Precast concrete wall and floor system.Explosion caused by a gas leak blew out one of the precast wall panels on the 18th floor, triggering the partial collapse of the building.Attention to progressive collapse was initiated.
(Nair, 2004)
(King and Delatte, 2004)
Commonwealth Avenue apartment, 1971, Boston
RC flat-plate structure
Likely construction over-load, poor material properties in cold weather, and inadequate positioning slab top bars caused punching shear failure at roof level.Punching shear failure propagated to the ground level. Attention to progressive collapse was initiated.
Alfred P. Murrah Building, 1995, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
RC frame structure with transfer girders designed in accordance with ACI 318-71.
Discontinuity of reinforcement in both the positive and negative moment reinforcement.The blast from the bomb destroyed column G20 belowthe transfer girder and may have destroyed or severely damaged columns G24. 168 people died.
Sampoong Department Store, Seoul, South Korea
RC flat-plate structurePunching shear failure initiated from an interior slab-column connection at the top story. Contributing factors for the failure included reduced slab effective depth and a35% increase in dead loads due to the change of use at the 5th floor (Gardner et al. 2002). Killed 501 people.DESIGN STANDARDS
Both consider progressive collapse as dynamic and nonlinear event.
ASCE/SEI Committee, Disproportionate Collapse Standards and Guidance, iscurrently develop new standard modified from DOD 2009.
Design Approaches
Indirect Design - emphasizes providing minimum levels of strength, continuity, and ductility to ensure structural integrity.
Direct Design - includes the Specific LoadResistance and the Alternate Path approaches.
Indirect design DOD procedure
Relies on an integratedsystem of tie forces for developing tensile membrane or catenary action.Horizontal ties and vertical ties.
Indirect Design - emphasizes providing minimumlevels of strength, continuity, and ductility to ensure structural integrity.
Building must bridge across a removed element.

Compressive arch action resulting from axial restraint contributed at least 50% extra loading capacity beyond the capacity estimated without considering axial restraining forces and strain harderning.
Load resistance under catenary action may not provide higher capacity than under compressive arch action.
High loading speed slightly increases beam flexural stiffness and load resistance.Dynamic Loading Tests
Test variables: Load level, reinforcement ratioFour specimens were tested: D1 to D4, 5700 mm x 300 mm x 150 mm (1/2scale)D1: no axial restraint was appliedD1 and D2: = 1.2 %, D3: 1.8 %, D4: 2.4%Each specimen was tested multiple times with different weight of mass blocksLoad release time less than 10% of natural period
Lower weight of mass blocks: study the dynamic response of a specimenwithin its elastic range
Higher weight of mass blocks: detect the dynamic loadcarrying capacityDynamic response under lower level of load

Typically assumed 5% damping ratio for cracked concrete structures was verified.
Compressive arch action still exists under dynamic loading scenario considered by DOD and can significantly increase the dynamic loading capacity.
Dynamic increase factor of 2 could be too conservative for force controlled actions.
Another series of tests is being conducted to further identify dynamic loading effects (mainly evaluate DIF proposed by DOD and dynamic deformation capacity).NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF AXIALLY RESTRAINED RCFRAME BEAMS (ONGOING)
Current DOD progressive collapse design guideline considers dynamic loading condition. The response of structure from an analysis (deformation and force demand) can be highly sensitive to the definition of beam flexural capacity.To reduce uncertainty in an analysis, appropriate nonlinear model is need for frame beams surrounding the lost column.Using traditional ACI code approach to define M- (or M-p) in a nonlinear analysis cannot effectively capture the dynamic response under both compressive arch action and catenary action.Numerical analysis needs to consider the geometry nonlinearity when solving system equations.Using fiber section to define flexural property
Cross section is divided into several layers (regions) to have fibers along the beam or column.Material property is defined at stress- strain level.Confinement effects due to transverse reinforcement can be explicitly considered.Can be used for irregular cross sections.Current fiber section can only define flexural and axial loading behavior. Involves higher computational cost. Available in SAP newer editions.Simulation of axially restrained beams tested
Concrete property(Concrete 1 model) OPENSEES was adoptedConcrete 1 was used to define material property for concreteConfined concrete model for peak stress and ultimate compress strain proposed by Scott et al. (1982) was use for cover concrete and core concrete.Steel 2 was used to define material property for reinforcing bars. Model (Bond_SP01) proposed by Zhao andSritharan (2007) was considered.Zero-length section was used to define bond-slip property.Ultimate goal: nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of multi-story RC frame building designed w/ seismic loading (assisted by Ken Zhang) and w/o seismic loading (assisted by Sang-in Choi).Simulation results

Flat-plate buildings, especially those designed prior to 1980s, could be vulnerable to a progressive collapse.
ABAQUS using shell elements is used to conduct nonlinear analysis.
Concrete damaged plasticity model was used to simulate the property of concrete under tri-axial state of stress.

Anchor unitCONCLUSIONS
Lateral restraining effect existing in an actual moment frame may significantly increase beam flexural capacity.
Even though such effect is generally neglected in a normal design, it can be considered for progressive collapse resistance under extreme loading conditions.
Fiber section can best describe the strength and stiffness properties of RC frame beams.
Flat-plate buildings, especially older flat-plates, could be at high risk of progressive collapse.
Input for industry is needed to better improve current design practice for progressive collapse.
