	Summary:
	The paper point out the importance of robustness and the collapse resistant structure for reducing the progressive collapse of RC buildings. Terms and definitions used in connection with robustness and progressive collapse are given in concise form. The various ways of achieving the robustness, integrity and ductility of the structure are discussed. Short review of literature and some code provisions and recommendations, among them COST TU0601, for designing RC building structures for progressive collapse performance are given too.
