Abstract
The paper experimentally and theoretically considers the issues of assessing the robustness and resistance to progressive collapse of a flat slab with a sudden removal of the central support.
The results of testing two scale models of a fragment of a flat ceiling in the case of removal of the central support under static (specimen FS-1) and dynamic (specimen FS-2) loading are presented and analyzed.
A theoretical approach to the quantitative assessment of robustness was tested, which is based on the provisions of the energy balance of a damaged structural system in an accidental design situation.
