The fire safety objectives are primarily focused on life safety issues. In addition, for particular cases, property protection and business continuity are taken into account when developing Fire Safety Strategies. The purpose of this article is to assess the fire risk associated with a timber structure within an atrium space, carrying out a qualitative and quantitative analysis.For probabilistic risk assessments, the criteria are set such that the probability of a given undesirable event is acceptably low, or As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The acceptance criteria vary depending on the fire safety objectives, therefore, for this study, the property protection has been considered beside the life safety of the occupants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
