Dynamic amplification factor for moment resisting frames in progressive collapse
… since a gas explosion caused the collapse of the Ronan Point apartment building in 1968. Progressive collapse occurs when an instantaneous loss of a supporting element causes failure in adjacent members leading to a large scale collapse of the structure. The General Services Administration (GSA) …
