Effect of Outriggers Location on Performance of RC Building Subjected to Loss of a Column
Abstract: Progressive collapse denotes a failure of substantial part of the structure, causing greater damage to the structure than the initial impact, which has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load carrying elements (typically columns). Failure of large part of any structure will result into substantial loss of human lives and natural resources. Therefore, it is important to prevent …
