A probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is commonly accepted as a tool for performance
based design in fire safety engineering, but the position of PRA in the design process, the …

Adequacy of structural fire design in uncommon structures is conceptually ensured through
cost-benefit analysis where the future costs are balanced against the benefits of safety …

A framework is proposed for the probabilistic estimation of yearly economic losses due to fire
in concrete building structures. The fire loss estimation accounts for the uncertainties in the …

Cost-effectiveness is a key consideration within fire safety engineering. Currently, different
approaches are being applied in literature. These approaches differ in how cost …

Fire safety engineering designs should comply with the ALARP requirement, meaning that
fire safety measures should be implemented to ensure that fire risks are As Low As …

Structural fire safety requirements implicitly balance up-front investments in materials
(protection or element sizing) with improved performance (loss reductions) in the unlikely …

The design limit states form the basis of current structural fire design approaches. These
design practices overlook the post-fire resilience and repairability of the structure …

Probabilistic risk assessment can be used for determining a design with a residual risk that
is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). Existing risk-based design approaches …

The objective of the work is to establish and apply a methodology for evaluating the total
benefits and costs related to fire protection features in buildings. An important component to …

Purpose Despite recognizing the significance of risk-based frameworks in fire safety
engineering, the usual approach in structural fire design is largely member/component level …
