BUILDING COLLAPSE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method for controlling the collapse of a building having multiple floors. The method comprises the step of providing at least one load-bearing strut between at least one set of adjacent floors and attached to the load-bearing structure of the building, the strut being constructed such that, under building collapse conditions, it absorbs enough of the energy released during collapse of the building to control the rate of collapse of the building to reduce damage thereto. A building collapse control system is also provided.
