It has be- come a requirement expressed in modern building codes, mostly without much advice as to how it can be achieved. En- gineering has developed some approaches based on traditional practice as well as recent insight. However, knowledge ab- out robustness remains scattered and ambiguous, making it difficult to apply to many specific cases. The authors’ attempt to collect and review elements, methods and strategies toward structural robustness, using a holistic, almost philosophical approach. This leads to a set of considerations to guide selection and implementation of measures in specific cases, followed by a collection of applications and examples from the authors practice. The world, engineering and construction are imper- fect and not entirely predictable. Robust - ness provides a measure of structural safety beyond traditional codified design rules.
