Abstract:

Guidance in EN 1990 and EN 1991 provides preliminary guidance for determination of appropriate design approaches for mitigation of progressive collapse. This preliminary guidance is somewhat devoid of detail with respect to applicability and analysis. It also does not lend itself well to consensus based professional and industry approaches extant in the US. The SEI Progressive Collapse Standards and Guidance Committee is developing guidance more applicable to the US approach, and has developed preliminary recommendations for risk determination and mitigation strategy applicability.
