Fire safety codes around the world are based on two different approaches to regulate building fire safety: Prescriptive or performance-based design. The prescriptive approach, as implemented in most traditional fire safety codes, allows for a simple and effective risk control for the majority of buildings, but offers little flexibility to the designers and is difficult to apply in specific...

Decisions concerning investments into fire safety are usually made based on the reduction of risks, whereas the costs of fire safety measures are often neglected. However, for a thorough assessment, both aspects need to be considered and a balanced ratio between costs and risk reduction should be aspired. Such an assessment leads to optimised fire safety measures.

cState-of-the-art seismic risk assessment develops in a fully probabilistic framework due to the large uncertainties inherent to the earthquake characteristics and to the seismic response of civil structure/infrastructure. The consolidated approach is that of performance based-earthquake engineering (PBEE) in which the target is to compute the expected annual loss due to seismic damage (e.g.,...
