Key Points

Fire-induced progressive collapse affects structural integrity significantly across cooling phases.
Modeling demonstrates that thermal effects can lead to unexpected failure points in concrete structures.
Assessment using thermal modeling techniques highlights the importance of cooling-phase effects on collapse dynamics.
Future designs may require adjustments to enhance fire resistance, especially in cooling scenarios.
