| Περίληψη: | This paper explores methods of simulating the behaviour of building structures under progressive collapse conditions through alternative models of different levels of structural idealization. Such models have been applied in many previous studies, but there is insufficient information regarding their reliability and their ability to represent actual structural behaviour as the level of idealization is reduced. To address this, the study adopts the alternative load path method through the well-established concept of notional column removal, performed via nonlinear static analyses of models with different levels of structural idealization. The focus is on the interaction between the directly affected structural members and the surrounding structure, which is shown to significantly influence the overall response under progressive collapse. The results demonstrate that this interaction depends on multiple factors and cannot be reliably captured when the surrounding structure is not explicitly modelled. Building on this finding, the study systematically evaluates how reduced models can be enhanced to better represent these interactions and proposes strategies for defining boundary conditions that preserve global structural behaviour. Overall, the study advances understanding of model idealization effects and provides practical guidance for developing efficient reduced models for progressive collapse simulations without compromising essential aspects of structural response.
