Sommario/riassunto

The intention of this Manual is to help the structural engineer in the process of preparing a systematic risk assessment for high-risk structures. It also highlights the responsibilities of the client and the communications needed between the structural engineer and client. Building control bodies will find guidance in the Manual for evaluating submissions for high-risk buildings. The Manual accompanies the Institutions Practical guide to structural robustness and disproportionate collapse in buildings, which provides a useful primer on the concepts of robustness and the methods used in the design of lower-risk buildings. -- Provided by publisher.
