For fire risk experts, the most parsimonious model is one that identifies errors due to human
and organizational factors (HOFs) that can be changed through a series of interventions …

Fire fragility functions are a powerful method to characterize the probabilistic vulnerability of
buildings to fire in the context of urban resilience assessment. But this method is recent and …

Abstract Probabilistic Risk Assessment methodologies are gaining traction in fire
engineering practice as a (necessary) means to demonstrate adequate safety for uncommon …

Large accidents throughout the 20th century marked the development of safety fields in
engineering, devoted to better identify hazards, understand risks and properly manage …

In this work, a reinforced concrete slab bridge (instrumented and tested in 2018) is
investigated. Based on field data, a finite element model of the bridge is calibrated. Model …

Demonstrating adequate safety for exceptional designs and new design applications
requires an explicit evaluation of the safety level, considering the uncertainties associated …

Fire Safety Design for Tall Buildings provides structural engineers, architects, and students
with a systematic introduction to fire safety design for tall buildings based on current analysis …

The issue of resilience of the built environment to fire is discussed in this chapter. Fire is
considered either as a single or cascading multi-hazard event, with a dedicated section on …

This article focuses on investigating vulnerability of fire-exposed reinforced concrete (RC)
panels under transverse out-of-plane and compressive in-plane loads following a …

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