The objective of this work is to perform an analysis of the construction methods and
sustainable safety measures currently applied in construction. It also addresses the
systematization of knowledge in the areas of sustainability and safety in
construction. Sustainability has played a predominant role in our society over the last
few years. The concept of sustainability is directly related to economic and material
development, aiming not to harm the environment, using natural resources in an
intelligent way so that they can stay in the future.

3. The current economic crisis which has particularly affected the construction sector
has led to the development of innovative measures that adapt to social, economic
and environmental needs. Innovation in the construction sector can be made through
improvements in technical choices, such as the use of better quality, the increase of
new technologies and specialized personnel, improvement of processes, increase of
energy efficiency, and increase of sustainable criteria.). In fact, such work often
requires operations under different working conditions, which can lead to new risks
or an increase in common risks. Many of the accidents caused by the new working
conditions could be avoided by making the right decisions during the pre-
construction phases and especially during design and planning.

4. 2. Safety of Structures in Strong Winds and Earthquakes: Multihazard
Considerations
• Authors : Dat Duthinh and Emil Simiu
• Publish year : 3 March 2010
• Discussion :
In accordance with the ASCE Standard 7-05, in regions subjected to wind and
earthquakes, structures are designed for loads induced by wind and, separately, by
earthquakes, and the final design is based on the more demanding of these two
loading conditions. Implicit in this approach is the belief that the standard assures
risks of exceedance of the specified limit states that are essentially identical to the
risks inherent in the provisions for regions where only wind or earthquakes occur.
We draw the attention of designers, code writers, and insurers to the fact that this
belief is, in general, unwarranted, and that ASCE 7 provisions are not risk consistent,
i.e., in regions with significant wind and seismic hazards, risks of exceedance of
limit states can be up to twice as high as those for regions where one hazard
dominates.

5. • This conclusion is valid even if the limit states due to wind and earthquake are
defined differently, as is the case in ASCE 7. Work is proposed with an approach
to modife ASCE 7 provisions which guarantees that risks implicit in minimum
ASCE 7 requirements for regions where one hazard dominates are not exceeded
for structures in regions with strong wind and seismic hazards.

According to the statistical surveys and studies, insufficient maintenance in the use
of existing buildings caused fire and collapse accidents. In this respect, I analyzed
the data managed by the current building maintenance and inspection system to find
out the actual state of safety management and proposed two significant results. First,
regarding the state of the buildings, the safety management status of the small-sized
ones, where 20 years or more passed after construction, is the worst and a priority
improvement plan is required. Second, there are eight deeply concerning factors for
the fire incidents and collapse accidents of buildings.
3. A Study on the Critical Safety Management Buildings and factors
by Analyzing the Actual State of Building Safety Management

7. • In the order of high risk, these factors are structural strength (seismic design),
exterior wall finishing material, basement floor, interior finishing materials, other
evacuation facilities, corridors stairs entrances, rooftop, fire partition. We need to
have more special designs and management plans regarding high-risk factors as a
system to prevent accidents in the building.

The very first European design guide for Fire safety in timber buildings has been
developed. It presents information for architects, engineers, educators, regulatory
authorities and building industry for the fire safe use of timber structures and wood
products in buildings. It aims at providing the highest scientific knowledge with
regard to fire safety on the European level. The guidance covers the use of design
codes, such as Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures, European fire standards,
practical guidance and examples for fire safe design and principles of performance
based fire design.
4. Fire safety in timber buildings

9. • The design guide is focusing on structural fire protection by proving latest detailed
guidance on load-bearing and separating functions of timber structures under
standard fire exposure. New modelling not yet included in Eurocode 5 is
presented. The guide includes information on the reaction to fire performance of
wood products according to the European system. The importance of proper
detailing in building design is stressed by practical solutions. Active measures of
fire protection are presented as important means in fulfilling fire safety objectives.

• Discussion :
The behavioral approach has been emphasized to accident prevention by many
authors. The approach has not been used in building. The aim of this study was to
determine whether the behavior analysis approach can be used effectively to
improve occupational safety in building, to apply behavior analysis in connection
with the internal safety inspections at the site, and to evaluate experimentally the
effectiveness of this safety effort.
5. Promoting job safety in building: An experiment on the behavior
analysis approach

11. • The study was conducted on two building sites. A Behavior Analysis program
including specific safety targets, follow-up and reliable feedback was put in
practise. The study proved that a behavioral safety program effected safety even in
the difficult setting of building. The accident rate of the experimental site was
smaller and the accidents were less serious than at the control site. Also the safety
inspection function was improved, as well as the quality of safety performance.
