Abstract
This paper introduces the hypothesis of two possible failure mechanisms for tall buildings in multiple floor fires. This paper extends the previous work done on the WTC towers by investigating more "generic" tall building frames made of standard universal beam and column sections to determine whether the same collapse mechanisms are obtained. The outcome of this paper enables the development of a simple stability assessment method for tall buildings in multiple floor fires.
