Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire Safety Design for Tall Buildings provides structural engineers, architects, and students with a systematic introduction to fire safety design for tall buildings based on current analysis methods, design guidelines, and codes. It covers almost all aspects of fire safety design that an engineer or an architect might encounter—such as performance-based design and the basic principles of fire development and heat transfer. It also sets out an effective way of preventing the progressive collapse of a building in fire, and it demonstrates 3D modeling techniques to perform structural fire analysis with examples that replicate real fire incidents such as the Twin Towers and WTC7. This helps readers to understand the design of structures and analyze their behavior in fire.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Review of decades of worldwide experience using standards, codes and guidelines related to performance-based fire protection design for buildings has identified shortcomings in the interpretation, application and implementation of the performance-based design process, wide variation in the resulting levels of performance achieved by such designs, and several opportunities to enhance the process. While others have highlighted shortcomings in the past, as well as some ideas to enhance the process, it is proposed that a more fundamental change is needed. First, the political and technical components of the process need to be clearly delineated to facilitate better analysis and decision-making within each component. Second, the process needs to be changed from one which focuses only on fire safety systems to one which views buildings, their occupants and their contents as integrated systems. In doing so, the activities associated with the normal operation of a building and how they might be impacted by the occurrence of a fire event become clearer, as do mitigation options which account for the behaviors and activities associated with normal use. To support these changes, a new framework for a risk-informed performance-based process for fire protection design is proposed: one which is better integrated than current processes, that treats a fire event as a disruptive event of a larger and more complex "building-occupant" system, and that provides more specific guidance for engineering analysis with the aim to achieve more complete and consistent analysis. This Ph. D. Dissertation outlines the challenges with the existing approaches, presents the "building-occupant" system paradigm, illustrates how viewing fire (or any other hazard) as a disruptive event within an holistic "building-occupant" system can benefit the overall performance of this system over its lifespan, and outlines a framework for a risk-informed performance-based process for fire protection design. Case studies are used to illustrate shortcomings in the existing processes and how the proposed process will address these. This Dissertation also includes a plan of action needed to establish guidelines to conduct each of the technical steps of the process and briefly introduces the future work about how this plan could be practically facilitated via a web-platform as a collaborative environment.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-based fire safety design methods are being used or developed in many parts of the world. The bases of several of these methods are the many fire engineering tools and methods developed in the United States. Unfortunately, these tools and methodologies are not being widely applied within the United States. There are many reasons for this, including the lack of performance-based fire and building codes in general use, and, where there are such codes or regulations, the lack of documentation on the availability and application of credible fire protection engineering tools and methodologies for the fire safety design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. General Services Administration has sponsored the Building and Fire Research Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop and support their Engineering Fire Hazard Assessment System. The GSA Engineering Fire Hazard Assessment System is a method for addressing fire safety issues based on performance instead of prescription. To enable this system, GSA found it needed additional data, algorithms, verification and guidelines for their engineers. The Office Building Fire Research Program was developed to respond to those needs by quantifying the impact of large fires on buildings and their occupants, investigating the use of current technology/resources for mitigating hazards, and developing new techniques and information as required for implementing an engineering based fire safety system. This paper provides an overview of the components and the results of the Office Building Fire Research Program to date.

This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art. Volume 9: Safety in Underground Construction contains the contributions presented in the eponymous Technical Session during the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May 2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation, and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable development objectives, demand greater and better use of the underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient and more liveable cities. The contributions cover a wide range of topics, tunnel inspection analysis, via risk assessment for maintenance planning and civil engineering constraints on tunnel ventilation and safety, to CFD simulations of longitudinal ventilation of a road tunnel. The book is a valuable reference text for tunnelling specialists, owners, engineers, archaeologists, architects, artists and others involved in underground planning, design and building around the world, and for academics who are interested in underground constructions and geotechnics.

Download or read book Quantitative Risk Assessment in Fire Safety written by Ganapathy Ramachandran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire safety regulations in many countries require Fire Risk Assessment to be carried out for buildings such as workplaces and houses in multiple occupation. This duty is imposed on a "Responsible Person" and also on any other persons having control of buildings in compliance with the requirements specified in the regulations. Although regulations only require a qualitative assessment of fire risk, a quantitative assessment is an essential first step for performing cost-benefit analysis of alternative fire strategies to comply with the regulations and selecting the most cost-effective strategy. To facilitate this assessment, various qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative techniques of fire risk assessment, already developed, are critically reviewed in this book and some improvements are suggested. This book is intended to be an expanded version of Part 7: Probabilistic risk assessment, 2003, a Published Document (PD) to British Standard BS 7974: 2001 on the Application of Fire Safety Engineering Principles to the Design of Buildings. Ganapathy Ramachandran and David Charters were co-authors of PD 7974 Part 7. Quantitative Risk Assessment in Fire Safety is essential reading for consultants, academics, fire safety engineers, fire officers, building control officers and students in fire safety engineering. It also provides useful tools for fire protection economists and risk management professionals, including those involved in fire insurance underwriting.
