TY - JOUR PY - 1974// TI - The analysis of fire safety JO - Accident analysis and prevention A1 - Baldwin, Robert SP - 205 EP - 222 VL - 6 IS - 3-4 N2 - This paper summarizes some of the more important methods that have been proposed in the literature for assessing the safely of a structure on a quantitative basis and for determining what consititutes an acceptable risk. These methods have hitherto been applied in branches of engineering such as design of aircraft and dams and design of buildings against wind loads, live loads, earthquakes etc.: the object of the paper is to discuss the relevance of these methods in the design of fire protection.
