Progressive Collapse Resistance Assessment of a Multi-Column Frame Tube Structure with an Assembled Truss Beam Composite Floor under Different Column Removal Conditions

To estimate the progressive collapse resistance capacity of a multi-column frame tube structure with an assembled truss beam composite floor (ATBCF), pushdown analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis are conducted for such a structure using the alternate load path (ALP) method. The bearing capacities of the remaining structures under three different work conditions, which are the side middle column removal, the edge middle column removal, and the corner column removal, are individually studied, and the collapse mechanism of the remaining structures is analyzed based on the aspects of the internal force redistribution and the failure mode of the second defense line. Simultaneously, the influence of the column failure time on the dynamic response of the remaining structure and the dynamic amplification coefficient is discussed. The results indicate that the residual bearing capacity of the remaining structure following the bottom corner column removal is higher than that of the one following the side or edge middle column removal, while the latter has a stronger plastic deformation capacity. When the ALP method is adopted to operate the progressive collapse analysis, it is reasonable to take the column failure time as 0.1 times the period of the first_order vertical vibration mode of the remaining structure, and it is suitable to set the dynamic amplification coefficient as 2.0, which is the ratio of the maximum dynamic displacement to the static displacement of the remaining structure under the transient loading condition.
