Progressive Collapse Analysis of T shape RCC Building

Structure collapse, on the other hand, is a very complicated phenomenon involving considerable nonlinearity and a variety of mechanical interactions. It should be thoroughly examined through experiments and numerical simulations to prevent the occurrence from occurring. When initial local failure of a small portion of the structure takes place it leads to the spread of that local damage to neighbor elements in the chain reaction manner. Finally, collapse takes place. This is known as Progressive collapse. This progressive collapse takes place when vertical load carrying members such as columns failed due to manmade or natural accidental loads. Therefore in this study progressive collapse analysis of a building is carried by removing columns. In the analysis different column removal cases are considered. As per GSA guidelines, Demand Capacity ratio(DCR) of beams are calculated. From this DCR value Evaluate the stability of the structure against progressive collapse. In the present study “T”shape building is considered which consists of 11 storey with bay sizes as 4 meter in the X and Y direction, height of every storey is 3 meters and height from the plinth to the floor is assumed 3.5 meters. The measurements of the beams are fixed throughout the storey, but column dimensions decrease as the floor rises, therefore the structure is considered to have geometrical irregularity. The loading is calculated in accordance with G.S.A guidelines. The design was created using the ETABS software and the I.S 456-2000 code. Different parameters such as Demand-capacity ratio, Dynamic factor, Interaction ratio, Axial Force, Bending moment are discussed.
