Robustness of steel building structures following a column loss

The present paper gives a global overview on recent developments performed at Liege University in the field of robustness of building structures for the specific scenario “loss of a column”. In particular, the static non-linear response of a steel building structure following a column loss will be first presented and then, a global overview of some recent achievements and ongoing researches will be given with the global strategy aiming at deriving design requirements for practitioners.
