EBRAFire: Fire Safety Assessment and Classification of Buildings

摘要

Due to the increase of rehabilitation works and the knowledge that the majority of the existing buildings was not objected of a fire safety project because there was no regulation at the time of construction, it is necessary to create technical assessment tools suitable to buildings or built sets, especially in more sensitive areas. This work proposes the model and operating procedures for an assessment method called EBRAFire. It assigns a rating to the buildings analyzed, based on fundamental parameters, observed in technical and regulatory standards, and also in empirical events resulting from experience in preventing and fighting fires. The model provides a detailed analysis of the parameters connected to the building's fire safety, with results that are easy to understand, can be useful for creating records for the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and can also be a fundamental collaborative work tool for all civil....
