ISO 13824:2009 PDF Download

ISO 13824:2009 is a standard that provides general principles on risk assessment of systems involving structures. The standard focuses on strategic and operational decision-making related to the design, assessment, maintenance, and decommissioning of structures. The goal of ISO 13824:2009 is to facilitate decision-making by monitoring, reducing, and managing risks in an efficient, cost-effective, and transparent manner.

The standard provides a framework and procedure for identifying hazards, estimating, evaluating, and treating risks associated with structures and systems involving structures. It also serves as a basis for code writers and designers to establish reasonable target-reliability levels based on risk considerations. Additionally, ISO 13824:2009 can be used for assessing risks associated with events not considered in the original design or with changes in use for existing structures. It can also be utilized for risk assessment of exceptional structures that may not be covered by existing codes.
