Abstract

This paper presents the correlation behaviour of a two-dimensional, two-bay five-storey vertical asymmetrical prototype building frame under a corner and middle column removal at the ground floor level using finite element software. This study analysed four different asymmetrical configurations (i.e. Configuration-I, Configuration-II, Configuration-III, and Configuration-IV), where each case is examined under three different load cases. The demand capacity ratio (DCR) of axial force, bending moment and shear force and deflection were studied. The study shows that the maximum negative shear force DCR of 6.55 at Configuration-IV asymmetrical bare frame with wall load under the corner column is more prone to progressive collapse. It is also observed that the less vertical deflection and DCR for column and beam are within the permissible limits in infilled frame with cement mortar (IFCM).
