Performance-based design of road tunnel fire safety: Proposal of new Swedish framework
Jonatan Gehandler - SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden
(in lingua inglese)
The idea of the tunnel guideline and Swedish building regulation is to let the designer choose which verification principle to use for each affected requirement. In the regulation this is achieved by presenting performance-based requirements together with acceptable solutions as recommendations. This means that one can either choose to implement the acceptable solution(s) to automatically fulfil the requirement, or one could engineer another solution using performance-based design to verify that the performance-based requirement is achieved. The advantage compared with current, more prescriptive, framework is that more efficient solutions taking account of actual risks and needs can be engineered.
