A Summary Review of Progressive Collapse of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure under Fire

Abstract:

In recent years, many progressive collapse accidents have occurred at home and abroad, due to the progressive collapses of a structure that often disproportion between initial damages and large collapses, these accidents caused significant casualties and serious economic losses. This paper first analyzes the research background and the definition of progressive collapse, then contrasts China with Britain, the United States, Europe and other countries for theory research status, specification research status, engineering and simulation research status, prevention measures of progressive collapse. Compared with other countries I have found that if our country introduced a comprehensive related design specifications, some progressive collapse accidents can be avoided or ease. So there will be plenty of work to be done in our country.
