There’s been a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions in building codes of practice, many of which are still being developed and updated today.
Although there have been some excellent reviews covering different aspects of progressive collapse, the sheer volume of research performed in this area in recent years means that highly relevant investigation methods and research findings are not covered by them. To fill this void, this course aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of progressive collapse research on building structures.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe prominent progressive collapse incidents.
- Identify the most common types of progressive collapse.
- Explain codes of practice, design guidelines, and design approaches related to progressive collapse problems.
- Compare international codes and guidelines.
- Describe the design guidance for progressive collapse analysis.
- Explain risk assessment for progressive collapse analysis.
- Describe the design and analysis method.
- Explain structural analysis procedures and acceptance criteria.
- Analyze the modeling example of progressive collapse analysis using SAP2000 and a nonlinear dynamic procedure.
- Determine the vulnerability of a structure to progressive collapse.
- Describe design solutions against progressive collapse, including prevention and mitigation methods.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 18 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
