Download or read book Fire Safety for Very Tall Buildings written by International Code Council and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Guide provides information on special topics that affect the fire safety performance of very tall buildings, their occupants and first responders during a fire. This Guide addresses these topics as part of the overall building design process using performance-based fire protection engineering concepts as described in the SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance Based Fire Protection. This Guide is not intended to be a recommended practice or a document that is suitable for adoption as a code. The Guide pertains to “super tall,” “very tall” and “tall” buildings. Throughout this Guide, all such buildings are called “very tall buildings.” These buildings are characterized by heights that impose fire protection challenges; they require special attention beyond the protection features typically provided by traditional fire protection methods. This Guide does not establish a definition of buildings that fall within the scope of this document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often firefighters are called on at the last minute to present information about fire safety. Teaching fire safety to the public requires formal training in fire education, which may not be readily available. This book is designed to assist any person assigned to public fire education. Learn how to relate to audiences of all ages - whether its giving a fire station tour, explaining fire safety in schools, installing smoke detectors for the elderly - and make a lasting impression, one that could one day save a life. The information found in this book will enable you to start new fire safety education program(s) or to improve existing ones. You will learn the various components of fire prevention and what makes public fire education fun and worthwhile. Contents: Planning a public education presentation Basic fire safety concepts Schools Scouts Water safety Industrial safety Medical emergencies Evacuation drills Adult education Seasonal safety programs Preventing a poisoning Public service announcements Print messages Props, gifts, and books Games and tests Sample handouts.

Book excerpt: Two complementary systems techniques are presented for systematically describing building fire safety. These techniques are the Decision Tree developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Systems Concepts Committee and the Building Firesafety Model developed by the NFPA as part of a project to study residential fire safety. The Decision Tree graphically describes the alternative means for achieving fire safety, while the Building Firesafety Model is a tool for calculating the actual risks associated with fire. These tools provide an initial step toward a more rigorous approach to defining fire safety.

Download or read book Structural Design for Fire Safety written by Andrew H. Buchanan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition Andrew H. Buchanan, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Anthony K. Abu, University of Canterbury, New Zealand A practical and informative guide to structural fire engineering This book presents a comprehensive overview of structural fire engineering. An update on the first edition, the book describes new developments in the past ten years, including advanced calculation methods and computer programs. Further additions include: calculation methods for membrane action in floor slabs exposed to fires; a chapter on composite steel-concrete construction; and case studies of structural collapses. The book begins with an introduction to fire safety in buildings, from fire growth and development to the devastating effects of severe fires on large building structures. Methods of calculating fire severity and fire resistance are then described in detail, together with both simple and advanced methods for assessing and designing for structural fire safety in buildings constructed from structural steel, reinforced concrete, or structural timber. Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers, structural engineers and building officials, and it will be useful for many others including architects, code writers, building designers, and firefighters. Key features: • Updated references to current research, as well as new end-of-chapter questions and worked examples. •Authors experienced in teaching, researching, and applying structural fire engineering in real buildings. • A focus on basic principles rather than specific building code requirements, for an international audience. An essential guide for structural engineers who wish to improve their understanding of buildings exposed to severe fires and an ideal textbook for introductory or advanced courses in structural fire engineering.

Download or read book Structural Design for Fire Safety written by Andrew H. Buchanan and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2001-06-22 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a comprehensive overview of the fire resistance of building structures, this key text brings together a large volume of material from many sources on this increasingly important topic. Starting with the fundamentals of fires and fire safety, the book gives an introduction to real fire exposure and the response of structures to such fires, outlining the important contribution of structural fire resistance to overall fire safety. Methods of calculating fire severity and achieving fire resistance are described, including fire performance of the main structural materials including structural steel, reinforced concrete and timber construction. Particularly valuable elements of the book are its design sections (incorporating international methods), where the earlier material is synthesised and recommendations are made for rational design of building structures exposed to fires. Structural Design for Fire Safety provides expert guidance on: ? Interpreting code requirements for fire safety ? Understanding the concepts of fire severity and fire resistance ? Estimating time-temperature curves for fully developed compartment fires ? Understanding the behaviour of structural elements and buildings exposed to fires ? Designing steel, concrete and timber structures to resist fire exposure ? Assessing the fire performance of existing structures In addition, the book includes valuable calculations and worked examples, unavailable elsewhere. This is an essential book for structural engineers who wish to improve their understanding of buildings exposed to severe fires. It is also an ideal textbook for introductory courses in fire safety in a civil or structural engineering degree programme, and is vital reading for final year students in fire protection and fire safety engineering. Furthermore, it successfully bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers, structural engineers and building inspectors, and will be of significant interest to architects, code officials, building designers and firefighters.
