Study of Progressive Collapse Analysis of Flat Slab Building

Progressive collapse is a catastrophic phenomenon that occurs in structures due to human-made and natural hazards. Nowadays, conventional RC frame buildings are commonly used for the construction. Flat slab building provides many advantages over conventional RC frame building. This paper deals with progressive collapse analysis of a flat slab building by means of non-linear static analysis procedure normally called pushover analysis. In this type of analysis a computer model of a structure is subjected to a predetermined lateral load pattern. The (G+11) structure is modelled using ETABS software and pushover analysis is performed.
