Basic Structure of the Fire Protection Design Assessment System

摘要

The purpose of the Fire Protection Design Assessment System is to provide design engineers with a tool to improve their ability to appraise the overall fire safety in a facility and evaluate the impact of fire protection measures. The system is based on deterministic fire prediction techniques and will be implemented through an interactive computer program. The report describes the components and basic structure of the system. The inputs to system include data on the building layout, combustible contents, fire resistance, detectors, sprinklers, smoke control system, occupants and the fire safety objectives. The outputs include the predicted fire generated conditions within the building as a function of time and an evaluation of the user specified fire safety objectives.
