rogressive collapse is a catastrophic partial or total failure that mostly occurs when a structure lose a primary structural component or more like a column or any vertical load-resisting component. This loss could be as a result of a car accident, explosion of a service system, an aircraft crash, a bomb in a criminal or […]
