The paper identifies and briefly discusses the factors that collectively influence the structural safety of a building. These include the probablilty of occurrence of extreme loading, the factors of design and construction process that determines the building's response, and the function of the building that influences both its design and the consquences of an extensive structural failure. . .Finally, conclusions and recommendation are made with respect to these deficiencies.

In order to identify and define abnormal forms of loading a classification system for all forms of structural loading on buildings is developed. Statistics relating to the incidence and consquence of the following forms of abnormal loading are then summarized: gas explosion, bomb explosion, vehicular collision. An attempt is then made to evaluate the structural signifance of each of these loadings with particular reference to multi-unit residental and mutli-story commerical, i.e., engineered, buildings.

This paper describes recent British tests concerned with catenary, or tensile membrane, actions, which may prevent local damage to a structure spreading to cause a progressive collapse. Reference is made to preliminry tests of structure, some of which indicated the considerable potentialities of such behaviour. More detailed tests studying the tensile strengths and ductilities of various components are described, as are experiments on floor strips with lost supports. Finally, possbile methods of predicting catenary resistance are discussed, although no general design guidance seems possible at this stage.
