Application of Cabin Concept Design for Large Space Buildings

摘要

For architectural and functional reasons, transport terminal buildings are frequently designed to incorporate large uncompartmented spaces. The cabin concept has been developed to prevent spreading fire and smoke in such large spaces. The components of the cabin concept design include the smoke reservoir at the area of high fire load, fire detectors in the reservoir and alarm, combined smoke extraction and ventilation systems and sprinkler system. The objectives of this paper are to discuss the design of the cabin concept.
