The present document is dedicated to global behavior of a frame further to the loss of a column, taking into account the redistribution of the internal forces. Structural elements, transfer the load to the foundation, are isolated as key elements. Two possible alternative load paths in the investigated event are described. The proposal on the local investigation of the important sub structure instead of full global frame’s assessment reveal the internal forces distribution along the alternative load path is demonstrated.
