Progressive collapse studies generally assess the PERFORMANCE of the structure under gravity and blast loads, while earthquakes may also lead to the progressive collapse of a damaged structure. In this study, the progressive collapse response of concentrically braced dual systems with steel moment-resisting frames was assessed under SEISMIC loads through pushover ANALYSIS using triangular and uniform lateral load patterns. Two different bracing types (X and inverted V braces) were considered, and their PERFORMANCEs were compared under different lateral load patterns using the nonlinear static alternate path method recommended in the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) guideline. Eventually, the SEISMIC progressive collapse resistance of models was compared to their progressive collapse response under gravity loads. These studies showed that models under the SEISMIC progressive collapse loads satisfied UFC acceptance criteria and limited rehabilitation objective. The structures had better PERFORMANCE under SEISMIC progressive collapse than models under gravity loads because of more resistance, ductility, suitable load redistribution, and more structural elements that participated in load redistribution. Furthermore, despite studies on progressive collapse under gravity loads, the dual system with X braces showed better progressive collapse PERFORMANCE (more resistance, residual reserve strength ratio and ductility) under SEISMIC loads than the model with inverted V braces.
