2011 SEP 21 - (VerticalNews.com) -- According to the authors of a study fromrnSingapore, Singapore, "This paper presents experimental investigations on the performance ofrnreinforced concrete (RC) exterior beam-column subassemblages under progressive collapsernscenario (loss of exterior ground column). The amount of resistance the beam-columnrnsubassemblages could provide the structural frame against progressive collapse is of great valuernin predicting the performance of buildings and for determining the stability of buildings duringrnsearch-and-rescue operations."
