Abstract

Abstract: The progressive collapse of high-rise buildings is a critical concern in structural engineering, especially in asymmetric structures where uneven mass distribution and irregular geometry can exacerbate vulnerabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the progressive collapse potential in asymmetric high-rise buildings. Using analytical and numerical methods, this study investigates the influence of asymmetry on collapse mechanisms, load redistribution, and structural resilience. The findings contribute to the development of design guidelines and mitigation strategies to enhance the safety and robustness of high-rise structures.
