This study presents a comprehensive examination of progressive collapse analysis in a reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures, using Extended 3D Analysis of building System ETABS software package 2018, in conjunction with the General Service Administration (GSA). The ETABS software is employed to facilitate linear static simulations of the RC framed structure subjected to a range of loading scenarios, such as blast and impact events. Subsequently, the GSA method is applied to assess the structural response and redistribution of loads following local damage. The DCR method is then utilized to investigate the demand-capacity ratio of critical structural elements, aiding in the identification of vulnerable components and informing necessary design modifications and retrofit strategies. The primary objective is achieved by comparing the DCR values of structural members allowing us to comment whether the structure will enter the collapse state. Incorporating this analysis while designing will help for safer Structural Designs.
