Abstract

Establishes a systematic risk assessment framework for the design of high-risk structures against disproportionate collapse, focussing on Class 3 buildings as defined in BS EN 1991-1-7 Annex A. The framework comprises 11 steps: identifying the hazards, eliminating the hazards, determining tolerable risk threshold, evaluating the risk, risk reduction measures, cost-benefit assessment, implementing risk reduction measures, reviewing residual risk, checking risk assessment sensitivity, reviewing overall level of risk and information provision about remaining risks.
