Cib-concept For Probability Based Structural Fire Safety Design

Probability-Based Load Criteria for Structural Design

Structural codes and standards provide the foundation of good engineering practice and a framework for addressing safety and serviceability issues in structural design. They identify natural and man-made forces that must be considered, define magnitudes of these forces for design, and prescribe methods for determining structural resistance to these forces. The framers of these documents on whic...

Development of a Fire Safety Checklist for Dormitories

Background;Despite advances in technology, people are still exposed to fire hazard. Students can be one of the most important exposed groups. Therefore, fire safety inspection should be established in dormitories. The aim of this study was to develop a fire safety checklist for fire safety inspection in dormitories. Methods; This study was as a tool development followed by a cross-sectional st...

An Enhanced HL-RF Method for the Computation of Structural Failure Probability Based On Relaxed Approach

The computation of structural failure probability is vital importance in the reliability analysis and may be carried out on the basis of the first-order reliability method using various mathematical iterative approaches such as Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz-Fiessler (HL-RF). This method may not converge in complicated problems and nonlinear limit state functions, which usually shows itself in the f...
