Design of steel and composite buildings against progressive collapse

Description

Structural robustness is a key safety consideration in the design of buildings for exceptional events. In recent years, extensive research has been carried out on the mitigation of progressive collapse in steel and composite steel/concrete buildings, leading to design approaches of different levels of complexity, some of which will be implemented within imminent revisions of design standards.

This event is a half-day workshop which introduces the technical background of a European project entitled Failnomore on the topic of progressive collapse. The workshop also delivers some practical recommendations, which will be presented together with an open-access design manual and design examples. The workshop covers the design of buildings for identified and unidentified threats, and the examples include steel and composite steel/concrete structures in seismic and non-seismic regions.

The workshop is free to attend, but places are limited and have to be reserved in advance. To register for the event, please click on the following link.
