“…The distance between these beams was to be spanned by a composite slab with shaped steel sheeting to avoid the need for any transverse beams and thereby to minimize the number of elements and on-site connections (Tanner & Bellod, 2008). In order to illustrate the application of the derived structural safety requirements taking account of the temporary use conditions of the building, one of its columns situated in the first floor of the office sector will be considered, highlighted in Fig.…”

The relatively high failure rates, with important consequences in many cases, suggest that the implicitly acceptable risk levels corresponding to temporary civil engineering structures and activities might exceed the bounds of normally acceptable levels associated with different societal activities. Among other reasons, this may be attributed to the lack of a rational approach for the assessment of risks associated with the different technologies supporting these activities in general, and for structures in particular. There is a need for establishing appropriate target reliability levels for structures under temporary use taking into account specific circumstances such as reduced risk exposure times. This issue is being addressed in the present paper. Acceptance criteria for building structure related-risks to persons obtained in prior studies are adapted to the special circumstances of non-permanent risk exposure. Thereby, the general principle followed is to maintain the same risk levels per time unit as for permanently occupied buildings. The adaptation is based on the statistical annual fatality rate, a life safety risk metric which allows for a consistent comparison of risks across different societal activities and technologies. It is shown that the target reliability indices taking account of the temporary use of buildings might be significantly higher than the values suggested for permanently used structures. 200 CHARACTER SUMMARY FOR SOCIAL MEDIA The inference of time dependent target reliabilities for structures under temporary use is addressed. As a general principle, the same risk levels per time unit as for load bearing systems of permanently occupied buildings are maintained.
