Fundamentals of Structurally Safe Design

Existing & New buildings
In most communities, new building construction in any
year represents less than 2 percent of the total number of
buildings.
NFPA 101 imposes enforcement of Retroactive

Requirement
Requirements will be applicable to

existing building as well.
Existing building that do not meet
the requirement of Code shall be
permitted to be in use provided
they do not present serious hazard
to the occupants…

Fundamental Design Concepts
when damage is sustained locally, the damage does not
spread to an area disproportionate to the original area of
local damage.
General Structural Integrity Structural Geometry
Load-Path Concept Designing Structures to Resist Overstress
Important features of ductile design include (1) selecting ductile materials

and member configurations, (2) assuring that connections are stronger
than the elements they connect, (3) providing redundancy or backup
Columns are used to transfer loads from roof beams to systems, and (4) controlling damage modes.
foundations. CFPS Exam Preparation- Mehboob Shaikh(CFPS, CFI, AMIE)
Basic Design methodology
Allowable Stress Design :
Example : A steel beam is made from material with a specified minimum yield strength of 36,000
lb/in.2 (248,000 kPA). Building codes require a minimum factor of safety of 1.5 for simple gravity
(dead plus live) loads. What should be Maximum allowable Stress..?
Maximum Allowable Stress = Minimum Yield Strength / FOS = 36000/1.5 = 24,000 lb/Sq Inch.
One drawback associated with the allowable stress design

method is that the factors of safety used are generally
independent of the certainty inherent in the definition of
the applied loading.
Basic Design methodology
Load & Resistance Factor Design (LFRD):
separates the factor of

safety into components
that are separately applied
to the types of loading
experienced and the types
of elements used
Performance Based Design
Building owners have the three following basic interests in
relation to building performance:
1. Preservation of safety
2. Preservation of capital
3. Preservation of function

Chapter 03
Codes and Environment for Built Environment

History of Regulations
The Code of Hammurabi is arguably the most well-known
and best preserved of the regulatory codes serving the
ancient world. It was carved on an 8-foot-high black stone
monument and was clearly intended to be on display in
public view for the citizens of the day. In the year 1901 the
stone was discovered, not in Babylon, but in a city of the
Persian mountains to which some later conqueror is
assumed to have carried it in triumph.
“If a builder has built a house for a man and

his work is not strong and if the house he has
built falls in and kills the householder, the
builder shall be slain . . .”
Key Legal Concept for Engineer
and Enforcer

his property.
Negligence

Strict liability.
Concept of Safety vs Risk
Inverse Relation
SAFETY RISK
Is it possible to achieve Absolute

safety…? Willingness to Pay
Higher the Safety, Lower is the risk &

higher is the cost…
How much cost is too much…?

(2) Investigation of criminal actions that may have contributed to a fire.

Public Fire & Life Safety
Education
Public fire and life safety education includes three facets:
(1) Fire prevention education
(2) Fire reaction education, and
(3) Other risk hazards.
Further Reading Section-5
The basic method of instruction is

changing from “preaching” to
“teaching.”
