This two-volume package combines two key IStructE publications addressing structural robustness, disproportionate collapse and risk-based design. Together, they provide structural engineers with guidance on both practical design considerations and systematic risk assessment methodologies.
The package includes Practical guide to structural robustness and disproportionate collapse in buildings (2nd edition) and Manual for the systematic risk assessment of high-risk structures against disproportionate collapse, offering complementary guidance for the design and assessment of structures exposed to a range of hazards.
Guidance for structural engineers and those working in a Building Control capacity, on how to prepare a systematic risk assessment for high-risk structures.
Key features:
Combines two specialist publications on disproportionate collapse.
Includes guidance aligned with Eurocodes, particularly BS EN 1991-1-7.
Covers structural robustness and collapse prevention strategies.
Presents a systematic risk assessment framework for high-risk structures.
Includes case studies highlighting good practice and lessons learned from failures.
Who the book is for:
Structural engineers.
Building control professionals.
Structural engineering consultants.
Professionals assessing high-risk structures.
Designers responsible for structural robustness.
Practitioners involved in Building Safety Act considerations.
What you will learn:
Principles of structural robustness and disproportionate collapse prevention.
Risk-based approaches to structural design and assessment.
How to prepare systematic risk assessments for high-risk structures.
Considerations relating to natural, accidental and malicious hazards.
