Abstract
Buildings may be exposed to sudden damage that we may think is small, but it may lead to the partial or complete collapse of the building. Through this research, a ten-story building was studied under the effects of the loss of a corner column and the loss of a side column due to vertical loads. Through this research, the mechanism of changing load paths and how loads are distributed on side columns, beams and other joints were identified, in addition to the concentration of damage and large loads on the lowest floor and the one closest to the point of column loss. All these conclusions can be reflected in the design process if they are taken into account to avoid such sudden collapses.
