N2  - The research proposed herein seeks to fill in the gaps in existing knowledge for the  dynamic disproportionate collapse potential of the flat slab buildings by providing analytical  and experimental modeling approaches. To achieve this objective, a three dimensional {u00BC} scale  flat slab model building was constructed for progressive collapse testing. The flat-slab model  was tested by subjecting it to progressive loss of supporting columns. As each column was  removed, the reinforcement strains, displacements and accelerations were captured to be  analyzed and compared with the analytical results extracted from analysis computer program  which based on the Applied Element Method. Then, a computational study for the effects of  the design parameters considered in assessing the progressive collapse potential of the flat slab  structures was conducted. The analytical results showed that, flat slab structure systems have  greater vulnerability to progressive collapse compared to beam-column-slab structures
