Modern construction industry is actively introducing new technologies and innovations in the field of high-rise buildings. This dictates certain requirements for the architectural and design features of the frameworks of buildings and the strengthening of foundations. It is necessary to give sufficient rigidity to the object in order to withstand external loads and impacts. All activities are aimed at ensuring the safety of people staying in a high-rise building. In recent decades, the construction of skyscrapers has increased, and such a notion as progressive collapse has become relevant. Therefore, the article examines and analyzes exactly progressive collapse as a problem requiring attention and a scientific approach to its elimination. The report concludes with some conclusions and recommendations.
