Sanjeev Bhatta*, Yang Jian, and Qing-Feng Liu
ABSTRACT
Well documented timeline with major progressive collapse events and the evolution on development of design codes or standard are presented. In addition, the process of progressive collapse along with the prevention strategies and some prevailing design methods of progressive collapse of building structures are studied under threat dependent and threat independent design methods. For aiming to minimize the risk of causing progressive collapse, some structural traits need to consider in the design of building structures are also presented.
