Progressive collapse resistance of concrete flat plate structures

本项目旨在系统、深入地研究混凝土平板结构的渐进倒塌机理和抗压能力。它们代表了当今世界使用的最常见的建筑系统之一，但它们的渐进式倒塌机制需要注意，而且现有的预防倒塌设计指南有限。预计结果将扩大和深化现有的理论框架和知识基础，防止新建筑和现有建筑的伤害和生命损失。预计这最终将有助于建立一套抗倒塌设计准则，以便进一步制定相关的澳大利亚和国际标准。

This project aims to systematically and thoroughly investigate the progressive collapse mechanisms and resistance capacity of concrete flat plate structures. They represent one of the most common construction systems used worldwide in modern days, yet their progressive collapse mechanisms require attention and limited collapse prevention design guidelines are available. The outcomes are expected to broaden and deepen the existing theoretical framework and knowledge base, prevent injury and loss of life in both new and existing buildings. This is expected ultimately to contribute to the establishment of a set of collapse-resistant design guidelines for further development of relevant Australian and international standards.
