Abstract

Progressive collapse refers to a condition where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of neighboring members and the whole structure, consequently. In the present study, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel dual systems with buckling restrained braces is inquired applying the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of the conventional intermediate moment resisting frames. Static nonlinear Push-down and dynamic analyses under gravity loads specified in GSA guideline are conducted to capture the progressive collapse response of the structures as a result to the column and adjacent BRBs removal, and their ability of absorbing the destructive effects of member loss is investigated. It was observed that, compared with the intermediate moment resisting frames, generally the dual systems with buckling restrained braces provided appropriate alternative path for redistributing the generated loads caused by member loss and the results varied more significantly depending on the variables such as location of column loss, or number of stories. Moreover, in the most column removal scenarios, steel dual systems are more capable to resist the progressive collapse loads and maintain the structural overall integrity.
