Abstract

Building codes and standards are enforceable by law, but are recognized as a minimum design basis relative to fire safety. The same system that mandates these codes does not, in a court of law, judge solely by the codes. In civil litigation involving death and injury from a building fire, the jury must evaluate the design based not only on the codes but also on what is reasonable. This paper will examine the civil trial and its impact on engineers, architects involved in building design, and manufacturers who supply materials and products for such buildings. Actual case histories will be cited and recommendations for a greater information feedback from trials to practicing designers and manufacturers will be presented.

建筑消防安全——通过诉讼获得的经验教训。
建筑规范和标准由法律强制执行,但被认为是相对于消防安全的最低设计基础。在法庭上,强制执行这些法典的同一系统并不仅仅根据法典进行审判。在涉及建筑火灾造成人员伤亡的民事诉讼中,陪审团不仅要根据规范,还要根据合理的设计来评估设计。本文将研究民事审判及其对参与建筑设计的工程师、建筑师和为此类建筑提供材料和产品的制造商的影响。将引用实际的案例历史,并提出从试验中获得更多信息反馈给实践设计师和制造商的建议。
