An Introduction to Disproportionate Collapse... A legal requirement as defined in A3 of the Building Regulations: “The building must be constructed so that it will not collapse disproportionately in the event of an accident.” Modern buildings are designed according to perceived risk: Class Risk Examples 1 Lower Houses ≤4 storeys Agricultural buildings Structural Engineering 2A Lower Hotels ≤4 storeys Medium Offices ≤4 storeys Education = 1 storey Public ≤ 2 storey & ≤2000m2 2B Upper Car parks ≤6 storeys Medium Hospitals ≤3 storeys Hotels, Education, Retail and Offices ≤ 15 storeys 3 Higher All outside limit of 2A & 2B Grandstands Hazardous Processing Plants Higher risk buildings require more ‘robust’ structures. For example, it can often be economically prohibitive to construct Class 2B or 3 buildings in load-bearing-masonry and therefore framed construction is often adopted.

Traffic and Transport Our traffic and transport team undertake the planning, assessment and design of travel infrastructure associated with a development scheme. This often combines transport planning, traffic management, traffic engineering and highway design services. We aim to ensure every scheme is served by a safe and sustainable transport network. Accessibility has to be achieved without compromising the performance of the transport network with additional congestion, pollution or hazards.
