| Abstract: |
The current position concerning design against progressive collapse is summarised and the need to move from a prescriptive approach to a quantitative analytical framework is explained. Necessary and desirable features of such a framework are presented. Reference is made to an approach currently under development at Imperial College London that includes all of these features. |
