Background
1998
1983
1995 1996
Existing Approaches
America:
ASCE and material specific codes (ACI, AISC,
TMS, etc) do not provide explicit and enforceable
requirements for progressive collapse.
UK
Explicit requirements in RC, steel, and masonry
codes.
Overall approach is composed of three methods:
Tie Forces (Indirect Design)
Alternate Path (Direct Design)
Specific Local Resistance (Direct Design)
Existing Approaches
Applicability
Applies to all DoD services and to all DoD inhabited
buildings of three or more stories.
Applies to new construction, major renovations,
and leased buildings and will be utilized in
accordance with the applicability requirements of
UFC 4-010-01 or as directed by Service Guidance.
Progressive Collapse Design Approach
Catenary Action;
collapse resisted
through tensile
forces
Progressive Collapse Design Approach
Flexural Action;
collapse resisted
through
bending/membrane
response
Progressive Collapse Design Approach
Horizontal Tie to
External Column
or Wall
Tie Forces
For example, for steel
In each direction, internal ties must have a required
tensile strength (in kN) equal to the greater of:
Alternate Path
Structure must be able to bridge over a removed
element.
Not intended to replicate an event, but to ensure a
consistent level of resistance.
Applied in 2 situations:
1. An element cannot provide adequate vertical tie
forcebridging must be shown.
2. For MLOP and HLOP.
Progressive Collapse Design Approach
Corner
Significant changes in structural
system
Columns/walls are removed, one at a
time, from EACH floor (i.e., with 8 Column removal
floors, at least 24 Alternate Path at every floor!
analyses are required).
