Abstract The multi-story buildings are susceptible to progressive collapse in the event of the removal of one or more columns due to the exposure to blast loads. The lack of structural continuity in precast concrete buildings makes these buildings more vulnerable to progressive collapse as compared to the regular cast-in-situ concrete buildings. This study presents experiments involving two types of detailing of precast beam-column joints using half-scale test specimens when the middle column is suddenly removed. The test specimens represent the most prevalent precast beam-column joints. One conventional cast-in-situ test specimen, having continuous top and bottom beam rebars, was used for comparison. The progressive collapse scenario was simulated by removing the central column support and applying a sudden vertical load on this column at a rate of 100 mm/s until failure. Test results helped in developing better understanding about the progressive collapse potential in the existing precast buildings. This study highlights the need for the rehabilitation of beam-column connections in existing precast buildings and necessitates the need for innovative beam-column connections for improving the progressive collapse resistance.
