Building Safety and Secure 2015

International Conference on Building Safety and Secure 2015

10 - 12 August 2015

Czech Technical University in Prague, CZ                                  PDF Brochure

This conference is about the impact of all hazards on a project of the objects of critical infrastructure: natural, criminal, terrorist, and accidental, that in fact is a multi-hazard approach for modern security design. Security and safety measures, such as those for anti-terrorism with using VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device), for example can result not even in the collapse of objects related to critical infrastructure all over the world but a great loss of life of the civilians and must be considered within a total project context, including impacts on occupants and the environment, regardless of the level of protection deemed appropriate. The meeting aims to attract papers in all related fields, in addition to those listed under the Conference Topics, as well as case studies describing practical experiences. The conference is aimed at engineers, scientists, field researchers, managers and other specialists involved in the theoretical and practical aspects of Building Safety and Secure.
