Dangerous and emergency situations are likely to occur without giving you time to prepare in advance. Past experience has shown that people who have prepared themselves ahead of time, and know how to cope with emergencies, manage to behave appropriately and can save themselves and their family members in an emergency. What are your opinions about this?
Architects must understand how building and occupant-based safety need to work together and how fire risk is reduced by the fire safety measures that are employed. When considering the measures necessary to provide a reasonable degree of fire protection in any building the fire resistance of the structure and the rate at which fire can spread across the surfaces of walls and ceilings are important factors.
The analytical methods of analysis and design of affected the building structures are complex, even with the simplified static analysis method that is allowed by the building codes. However, a great deal of resistance is provided by the basic configuration and structural system of a building. The design of buildings loads requires an early and close collaboration between the architects and construction engineers, in order to arrive at an optimum cost-effective structural design, while satisfying the needs of the client. These actions are mainly to study better estimate losses, to effectively adapt new technologies that mitigate losses, to improve prediction of natural hazards like earthquakes, and war.
In addition to the general requirement, the following specific requirements are used in the redesign of the building:
Usama- Are you familar with some of the work done in the United States on Prevention through Design (PtD)? It is a concept similar to what you are speaking of, but generalized to worker health and safety. It could easily be expanded for occupant safety also.
thanks very much ,yes It could easily be expanded for occupant safety also.
The other term you might want to look for is resiliency. I know that the Sustainability Committee in ASCE has a group working on this.
О чем Вы говорите называется профилактика ЧС. В ее рамках составляются планы действий и ликвидации ЧС. Проектные организации на стадии проектирования закладывают целый ряд защитных решений и мероприятий. Если к этому добавить плановые учения то мы получим систему предупреждения и снижения возможных негативных последствий ЧС.
