Abstract
Progressive collapse analysis of seismically designed, special moment resisting steel frame buildings is presented. The analysis model and the assumptions needed to create it are described and the results of a simulation in which a critical structural member is removed are shown. The limitations of the simulation are enumerated and the practical implications of the analysis results are discussed.
