Description
INSTRUCTIONS Problem Statement: According to Poon (2014), the introduction of ASET and RSET parameters for assessing fire safety in PBD was initially more conceptual than a codified approach. The application of these parameters to building design necessitated the incorporation of a safety factor or margin to accommodate design uncertainties. This allowance for design uncertainties, based on the ASET- RSET concept, can be expressed as either a safety margin (ASET – RSET > safety margin) or a safety factor (ASET/RSET > safety factor). These safety measures address uncertainties in the data and assumptions of analytical processes. However, challenges persist due to the lack of precision and availability of data on fire variables, coupled with the complexity of analytical techniques. Undertaking a variability analysis to derive sensible safety factors can be exceedingly daunting. Presently, codes or guidelines for performance-based fire engineering design lack clear recommendations for appropriate safety factors, even with the straightforward ASET-RSET concept. Discuss the dependent variables that significantly impact ASET and RSET evaluations. *** Words count = 1200 words.*** In-text citations and references using Harvard style.*** Compressed file uploaded named “Videos” very important to watch them. *** Two PDF has been uploaded related to this assignment.
