Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Beam–Slab Substructures Made with Rubberized Concrete
Buildings, 2022 Abnormal loads can produce localized damage that can eventually cause progressive collapse of the whole reinforced concrete (RC) structure. This might have devastating financial repercussions and cause numerous severe casualties.
