Please, i need your help, pls how can i simulate a building collapse on STAAD pro software, i am currently investigating the collapse mechanism of a structure and i am finding it difficult to simulate the progressive collapse using STAAD sofware, thank you
Hi,
In STAAD.Pro, there is a Pushover Analysis option to perform static nonlinear incremental analysis. See more in Help manual chapter G.17.4 Pushover Analysis.Also, you may have a look at these threads for additional information and analysis options available:

Thank you so much for this, the push over analysis is a very good one for collapse simulation, however, this only deals with lateral loading, can we have something similar for gravity loads?
Thank you
STAAD.Pro currently does not have the capability to handle a progressive collapse type analysis
