Abstract

Highlights: The fire fragility of a generic modern, mid-rise, RC office building is assessed. Fragility curves for its slabs and columns are constructed by expert elicitation. The expert elicitation also used to construct a suitable fire damage scale. The significance of spalling in the two RC elements is identified.
