Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the study was to describe the process of progressive collapse and to find more methods and approaches to design the structure for preventing from this kind of failure. And the last aim was to find Russian norms and standards and make calculations on progressive collapse of the trade center, according to them. In this way the work was commissioned by Finnmap Consulting Oy.
The thesis should be interesting to design engineers working with designing the large-span structures of public use like trade centers, stadiums or sport complexes, which are going to be built in Russia.
In the theoretical part of the project the main issue was to reveal and describe the term and the types of the progressive collapse, then to find out the reasons, appearance and effects from this event. Also the theoretical part includes a discussion of practical means for reducing risk of this collapse and shows the design methods and recommendations which are used to enhance a buildings resistance to progressive collapse. All information was gathered from Russian norms and recommendation for designing, also magazine articles, several scientific books and the Internet were used.
The analysis part of the thesis contains the general information about calculation process of the structure against progressive collapse according to Russian norms (recommendations). Also all formulas and dates which are needed in calculation were described.
The main part consists of the description of the building which were calculated and of course the calculations itself. All attempts and sequence of the calculation are shown and described. Then the analysis and conclusions about progressive collapse and calculations process was made.
As a result, this project described and disclosed a process of progressive collapse. Finally the calculation process for preventing structure from progressive collapse was made. And further these calculations will be used for other projects as an example.
