Ductile material on the other hand is able to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy, and permits a

redistribution of forces resulting in the reduction of force concentration.

The reason for this height dependency lies in the ratio of the gravitational potential energy to
the elastic potential energy, which increases with height.

• To calculate demand-capacity ratio of the structural elements.

• To study various design procedures of progressive collapse resistant structures.
• To design typical connections analytical by provision of plastic hinges throughout the
structure to support the required loading and resist progressive collapse.

 To analyse the structure by Linear-static analysis, Non-linear static, linear elastic

dynamic analysis method.
 To perform pushover analysis for the structure with removal of critical columns fully
and partially.
 To determine the potential for progressive collapse.
 To give the preventive measures SCOPE.
 Reduction of potential for progressive collapse in new and renovated Federal buildings
 Potential of progressive collapse is assed using Non-linear static analysis method since
it gives economical design.
  Bending Moment behaviour for different load combinations
 To calculate demand-capacity ratio of the structural elements.
On the basis of the above design preferences the complete frame of the structure is designed.
The most important preferences are:
o Framing type
o Importance factor
o Partial safety factors
o Deflection control
o Demand/Capacity ratio limit
