Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the progressive collapse behavior of multi-storey buildings under fire conditions, considering the use of carbon steel and stainless steel materials. To achieve this, a series of nonlinear dynamic explicit analyses were carried out using Abaqus software. In the study, the validation procedure for the collapse simulation of a building under fire conditions was first carried out. The validated model was subsequently employed to simulate the progressive collapse behavior of carbon steel and stainless steel building under fire exposure. Finally, both cases were compared in terms of the results obtained under fire exposure, including progressive collapse cases, displacements, and stress outcomes.
