E – 2072 Progressive Collapse of Structures: Analysis Methods, and Design Methods of Prevention and Mitigation

Nowadays, increasing numbers of tall building design projects require more attention to the design of the building against progressive collapse. In many countries, special requirement has been made for tall building designs. For a high-rise building, a separate progressive collapse analysis report is required to be submitted and checked by the building control department to get the construction permit. Therefore, in this course, the detailed progressive analysis and design methods will be introduced. The objective of this course is to assist a licensed design professional, practicing structural engineers, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers, building officials,  educators, students and/or a licensed general contractor to deeply know, and understand the phenomenon  of progressive collapse of structures and how to prevent and mitigate it. The importance of this course lies in the fact that there are not a sufficient number of references dealing with this topic, so the course was designed to be an important guide for the structural engineers those working in this field.
