description In recent years, the presence of progressive collapse in tall buildings induced a catastrophic event which attracted the majority of the community’s attention. The purpose of this paper is to develop a 3D numerical analysis of tall building under column loss. A composite steel frame building with 25 stories with five spans in both directions is proposed. The building has 3 m story height and 8 m span in both directions. The building is designed through the commercial software SAP2000 software against wind loads based on Eurocode 1-2005. The focus here is to investigate various parametric studies under abrupt column loss of multi-story composite building. The effect of composite slab is considered with full composite action between beam and slab. The findings of a parametric formulation incorporating important parameters for the progressive collapse design technique are given and confirmed using nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. The assessment of results has been introduced based on deformation, axial force in columns, equivalent plastic strain, major moment and axial force in the considered beams above the column loss. Next, a probabilistic analysis has been performed to assess the behavior of composite steel buildings against column loss. The study investigates the critical column loss and pinpoints the location of the next critical column. The results show that the concrete grade, position of the removed column, beams cross-section, and place of bracings have a significant effect in the response of the building rather than the steel grade and bottom reinforcement density. The removal of exterior column has the significant increase of the axial force percentage by 111.4% for the corner column. The corner column removal gives the maximum equivalent plastic strain with a value of 0.00449. Furthermore, the results reveal the potential impact of uncertainty on the structural elements of the considered buildings through the progressive collapse analysis. The vertical displacement above the column is fitted with mean value of 0.0251387 m and with a coefficient of variation 0.01664.
