    Fire Risk Analysis of Structures And: Infrastructures: Theory and Application in Highway Tunnels

    Uploaded by

    Jacinto Iparraguirre
    This document outlines a course on structural fire safety design. It will cover risk analysis methods and their application in assessing fire risks in highway tunnels. Topics include the system approach to fire safety design, risk analysis processes, hazard analysis, risk acceptance, and risk reduction. It will also present a case study on performing a risk assessment of a long highway tunnel using the PIARC/OECD QRAM method.

    (Fire) Risk Estimation*


    *(following SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering)

    Provide answer to the following questions


    1. What could happen?

    2. How bad would it be if it did happen?

    3. How likely is it to happen

    What is risk?
    Risk can be defined as the probability that the harm or damage from a particular
    hazard is realized.
    Risk is measured in terms of consequences and likelihood (a qualitative description
    of probability or frequency). In mathematical terms risk can be defined as:
    risk = f (frequency or probability, consequence) (1)
    In the case of an activity with only one event with potential consequences, a risk (R)
    is the probability (P) that this event will occur multiplied with the consequences (C)
    given the event occurs:

    R = PC (2)
    The risk of a system is the sum of the risks of all harmful events of that system:

    = (3)
    =1

    Risk types
    Life safety risks are normally presented in two ways:
    - Individual risk and
    - Societal risk
    Individual risk:
    The purpose of the individual risk is to ensure that individuals in the society
    are not exposed to unacceptably high risks. It can be defined as the risk to any
    occupant on the scene for the event/hazard scenario i.e. it is the risk to an
    individual and not to a group of people.
    Societal risk:
    Societal risk is not looking at one individual but is concerned with the risk of
    multiple fatalities. People are treated as a group, there are no considerations
    taken to the individuals within the group i.e. the definition of the risk is from a
    societal point of view.

    What is risk analysis?


    A big family of different approaches, methods
    and complex models combining various
    methododical components for specific tasks
    Systematic analysis of sequences and interaction
    effects in potential accidents, thereby identifying
    weak points in the system and recognizing
    possible improvement measures
    Risk analysis makes the quantification of risks
    feasible
