초고층구조물의 경우 중저층 구조물과 다르게 설계시 중력하중과 풍하중의 크기가 매우 크므로 이를 제어하는 구조물의 코어에 강성이 큰 전단벽을 설치하고 최상층에 아웃리거나 벨트트러스를 설치하는 방법을 많이 적용한다. 그리고 홍콩의 IFC와 같이 초대형기둥과 아웃리거를 설치하여 횡하중에 저항하는 구조시스템도 제시되고 있다. 이러한 초고층구조물에서 연쇄붕괴가 발생할 경우 세계무역센터의 붕괴에서 나타나듯이 상상을 초월하는 피해를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 초고층 구조시스템의 연쇄붕괴저항능력을 Pushdown해석을 이용하여 평가하였다.

In this study the progressive collapse behavior of a moment frame with infill steel panels is evaluated using nonlinear static pushdown analysis. The analysis model is a two story two span structure designed only for gravity load, and the load-displacement relationship is obtained with the center column removed. To obtain local stress and strain as well as the global structural behavior, finite element analysis is conducted using ABACUS. Through the analysis the effect of the span length and the thickness of the steel plate on the progressive collapse behavior of the structure is investigated, and the effect of the dividing the infill panel using stud columns is also studied. According to the analysis results, the thickness of the panels required to prevent progressive collapse increases as the span length increases, and as the number of panel division increases the progressive collapse resisting capacity increases slightly but the effect is not significant. It is also observed that when the infill panel is installed in only a part of the span the progressive collapse resisting capacity is somewhat increased.

In this study the progressive collapse potential of braced frames were investigated using the nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. All of nine different brace types were considered along with a special moment-resisting frame for comparison. According to the pushdown analysis results, most braced frames designed per current design codes satisfied the design guidelines for progressive collapse initiated by loss of a first story mid-column; however most model structures showed brittle failure mode. This was caused by buckling of columns after compressive braces buckled. Among the braced frames considered, the inverted- V type braced frames showed superior ductile behavior during progressive collapse. The nonlinear dynamic analysis results showed that all the braced frame model structures remained in stable condition after sudden removal of a column, and their deflections were less than that of the moment-resisting frame.
