N2  - Progressive collapse of structures takes place when a structure loses one or  more of its main vertical load-carrying members such as columns and walls. The loss  of such structural members may be due to accidental loading conditions, extreme  loading or terrorist attack. Due to its importance, many international structural codes  started to consider the progressive collapse resistance such as GSA guidelines and  UFC guidelines. In the current study, the effect of structural irregularity, in both plan  and elevation, on the progressive collapse resistance of RC multi-story framed  structure is studied under gravity loads. The RC structure was designed according to  Egyptian standards and its progressive collapse resistance was assessed using UFC  guidance. The numerical results showed that all the studied cases satisfied the UFC  guidelines requirements for progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete  structures with safety factors equal to (4.8), (5.5), and (3.3) for beams, columns, and  joints, respectively
