Assessment of Different Retrofitting Methods on Structural Performance of RC Buildings against Progressive Collapse

Applied Sciences, 2022
Progressive collapse refers to the spread of primary local damages within the structure. Following such damages due to removing one or more load-bearing columns, the failure spreads in a chain and causes structural failure. This study represents a report
