This guide summarizes the advice available from the Fire Research Station, to designers of Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems (SHEVS) for atria and other buildings. It builds upon currently available published advice (especially BRE Report Design approaches for smoke control in atrium buildings[13], but also BRE Report Design principles for smoke ventilation in enclosed shopping centres[24]), by including more guidance on the use of the methods given, and by including the results of research carried out since the publication of ref. [13] in 1994. In particular, the use of a design fire size is considered in more detail, including: a discussion of growing fires; formulae and calculation methods to determine the deflection of smoke curtains in fire situations so that the specification of smoke curtains can become part of the SHEVS design; the effects due to airflow on the efficiency of natural smoke exhaust ventilators and on the stability of smoke layers. This guide does not consider the scenario where a fire in a room connecting to an atrium causes a flame plume to rise into the atrium. In this context, any large space adjoining the fire room may be considered to be an atrium, eg malls in shopping complexes. A discussion is included of the factors which need to be considered when specifying the hardware (ventilators, smoke curtains, etc.) required to implement the design in a building. Some advice is also included on: factors to be considered in installing the system in buildings; how to test the functioning of the equipment separately and as a complete system once it has been installed; and 'good practice' measures involving the management and maintenance of the system when the building is in everyday use. The purpose of this book therefore is to provide practical guidance on the design of smoke-control systems. It reflects current knowledge and is based on the results of research where available, including as yet unpublished results of experiments. In addition, it draws on the authors' cumulative experience of design features required for regulatory purposes in many individual smoke-control applications. Many of these design features have evolved over several years by consensus between regulatory authorities, developers and fire scientists, rather than by specific research. The methodology underpinning the book is explicitly empirical in approach and can easily be extended to most buildings. Where guidance is necessary to address practical design issues but there are gaps in the established knowledge-base, the authors have exercised their professional judgement in offering conservative, pragmatic advice. When guidance is offered in these circumstances any potential weaknesses are made explicit. Related to this is the continuance of the philosophy used in the book's predecessor BRE Reports[13,24] that even where a document is difficult to obtain, or even verbal private communication is the source of advice, it is listed as a reference.

This report is intended to assist designers of smoke ventilation systems in atrium buildings. Most of the methods advocated are the outcome of research into smoke movement and control at the Fire Research Station (FRS), but also take into account experience gained and ideas developed whilst the authors and their colleagues have discussed many proposed schemes with interested parties. The primary purpose of the Report is to summarise in a readily usable form the design advice available from FRS at the time of its preparation, As such, it does not attempt to cover installation, detailed specification of hardware, or aspects of fire safety engineering other than smoke control.

Brannigan’s Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition is a must read for fire fighters, prospective fire fighters, and fire science students. This edition continues the Brannigan tradition of using plain language to describe technical information about different building types and their unique hazards. This text ensures that critical fire fighting information is easy-to-understand and gives valuable experience to fire fighters before stepping onto the fireground. The first edition of Building Construction for the Fire Service was published in 1971. Frank Brannigan was compelled to write the most comprehensive building construction text for the fire service so that he could save fire fighters’ lives. His passion for detail and extensive practical experience helped him to develop the most popular text on the market. His motto of: “Know your buildings,” informs every aspect of this new edition of the text. Listen to a Podcast with Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition co-author Glenn Corbett to learn more about this training program! Glenn discusses his relationship with the late Frank Brannigan, the dangers of heavy construction timber, occupancy specific hazards, and other areas of emphasis within the Fourth Edition.

The architect's primary source for information on designing for egress, evacuation, and life safety, Egress Design Solutions, Emergency Evacuation and Crowd Management Planning, is written by proven experts on egress issues. Meacham and Tubbs are engineers with Arup, an international firm with a stellar reputation for quality design and engineering. Their book examines egress solutions in terms of both prescriptive and performance-based code issues. A portion of the book focuses on techniques for providing egress design solutions and for coordinating egress systems with other critical life safety systems. Another part reviews historic and recent tragic life-loss fire events. As such, this is easily the most comprehensive take on the subject, written especially for architects.

Fire Safety Of Historical Buildings written by Gabriele Bernardini and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-04-19 with Technology & Engineering categories.

This book applies a behavioral point of view to individuals’ fire safety in historic buildings. It outlines theoretical and operative issues, based on recent studies and international guidelines. Firstly, critical issues for Building Heritage fire safety are widely discussed, by including the modelling of human factor and man-environment-fire interference in these architectural spaces. A significant part of the book includes a discussion on emergency modeling and simulation. A source code for representing the fire evacuation process (including man-evacuation facilities interactions) is offered to the reader. Methods for effectiveness assessment of risk-reducing solutions are provided and tested in a case-study. Being a structured approach to occupants-related problems during a fire in heritage buildings, it offers an innovative methodology and practical examples that researchers and designers can use as a guide when proposing and testing solutions. Evaluation indexes for effectiveness assessment (also useful for future guidelines or handbooks) are included. Readers are encouraged to understand these indexes within the proposed approach, so as to extend their applications and possibilities of how to introduce human behaviors-based solutions in other fields. Lastly, attention is focused on the proposal and evaluation of low-impact and not-invasive strategies, such as ones based on wayfinding elements. From this point of view, the pros and cons of wayfinding systems are discussed: these are important today, especially for fire-safety designers, because of the ongoing innovations in this field.
