121-0110-00LModule 2: Fire Safety Design Restricted registration - show details 10 credits9GA. Frangi, G. De Sanctis, K. Fischer, M. Klippel, S. Marelli
AbstractModule 2 gives insight in both performance and risk based design concepts and principals. The students learn basic and advanced statistics and apply the tools to develop performance and risk based fire safety solutions.
Learning objectiveThe objective of this module is to provide a general introduction into risk assessment as a tool to support decisions under uncertainty and an overview over the concepts, tools and methods of hazard assessment and risk analysis.
