description abstractAbnormal loads, which usually are not considered in structural design because of their low probability of occurrence, may initiate a catastrophic failure if they occur. A case study shows that the probability of structural failure due to a gas explosion in a residential compartment may exceed probabilities associated with unfavorable combinations of ordinary design loads. Therefore, specific provision in design standards to mitigate the effects of abnormal loads appear warranted.
