Alternate load paths in mitigating progressive collapse of RC building structures subjected to column loss scenarios

Column loss scenarios result in high potential for progressive collapse of RC building structures since the gravity loads are severely amplified by both doubling-of-span and dynamic factors. Under such a situation, tensile membrane action and catenary action with steel reinforcement carrying the ver...
