[2007] Progressive Collapse Assessment of Multi-Story Flat Slab Reinforced Concrete Structures under Gravity Loads
キーワード：AEM, Alternative path method, UFC guidelines, UFCガイドライン, 進行性崩壊
The resistance of multi-story RC flat slab structures to progressive collapse is numerically evaluated using Applied Element Method. The case study was designed according to ACI 318 and its progressive collapse was assessed in accordance to the UFC guidelines. The analytical results showed that the case study generally satisfies the limits of UFC guidelines except for the cases of near-corner interior column loss from tenth floor and edge shear wall loss from ground, fifth, eighth and tenth floors. It experienced a partial collapse due to edge shear wall removal from eighth and tenth floors.
