The 8th International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods is to be held on 16-18th June 2010 at Lund University, Sweden.
Abstracts are solicited relating to performance-based regulatory structures, performance-based codes and performance-based standards. Viewpoints are invited on the infrastructure needed for the successful implementation of performance-based codes (education, professional registrations, enforcement, legal environment, etc.) Perspectives are also sought on experience (both positive and negative) associated with the use of performance-based codes.
Abstracts are invited on fire safety engineering methods in use or under development. Viewpoints are also sought on dealing with uncertainty and new research findings relevant to performance-based design. Please note that case studies without generalizable results are typically not acceptable.
Those wishing to present papers should submit a one to two page abstract to the conference secretariat by 10 July 2009.
