Abstract
Under the scenario of single column removal in progressive collapse analysis, frame structure may rely on development of secondary/ alternate load path mechanisms, i.e. compressive arch action (CAA) and Catenary action (CA) in double-span beams to safely redistribute the accidental load to the adjacent structure. A number of analytical and numerical methods have been proposed to quantify the behaviour/ load carrying capacity of double-span beam with development of secondary mechanisms. The proposed methods are only applicable for or validated against symmetrical double-span beams. However, in the design and construction of RC buildings, it is quite common to have variations in details of beams adjacent to one another leading to unsymmetrical double-span beam upon column removal. Hence, analytical and numerical methods for predicting load-carrying capacity of unsymmetrical double-span beams are proposed and validated against the result of 3 tests, i.e. 1 double-span beam with unsymmetrical span length, 1 double-span beam with unsymmetrical beam details, and 1 double-span beam with unsymmetrical beam details and span length.
