: Real-world examples of structural collapses to illustrate the stakes of proper fire design.
Traditional fire safety relies on prescriptive "recipes"—specifying exact materials and thicknesses. This text champions , which uses engineering principles and modeling to ensure a structure meets specific safety objectives, regardless of the materials used.
