Abstract

In this article, the global health burden of structural collapse is determined. To this end, mean ratios of structures to inhabitants are determined and applied to the world population, subdivided into industrialized and developing countries. Based on known collapse frequencies of structures, mean annual worldwide collapse numbers of structures are calculated. Furthermore, the average number of victims is estimated and then used to estimate worldwide victim numbers, considering not only fatalities but also injuries. These victim numbers are converted into “lost life years”, a parameter often used as a measure of a health risk and compared to some other causes of victims.
