Structural design of building to prevent progressive collapse
Course Description
Design of building to resist progressive collapse became an essential topic especially for building with high importance. After 9/11 many specified codes and guidelines were issued specially in USA. For contemporary structural engineering, it became essential to be awarded with how to design a building under progressive collapse.

Structural engineers, consultant engineering companies, and companies that deal with abnormal loading, blast loading or demolition.
