Membrane actions of RC slabs in mitigating progressive collapse of building structures

The potential for progressive collapse of RC buildings can be studied using column loss scenarios. The loss of either internal or external penultimate columns is among the most critical scenarios since the affected beam-and-slab substructure associated with the removed column becomes laterally unres...
