The progressive collapse of a structure is characterized by a
disproportion between a comparatively minor event or local failure and the
ensuing widespread collapse. Different structural systems exhibit
different degrees of susceptibility to progressive collapse and such
differences are neglected in modern design procedures based on reliability
theory.
This book gives engineers the practical, systematic framework they need to
anticipate the risk of progressive collapse and apply this knowledge to
design and assessment procedure
