A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The paper identifies and briefly discusses the factors that collectively influence the structural safety of a building. These include the probability of occurrence of extreme loading, the factors of design and construction process that determines the building's response, and the function of the building that influences both its design and the consequences of an extensive structural failure. Those factors within the sphere of influence and concern of individuals responsible for the design and supervision or regulation of construction are then discussed in further detail to point out deficiencies in current knowledge or practice. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are made with respect to these deficiencies.
