A building fire is dynamic. A continually changing hostile fire
environment influences time relationships that affect fire defenses
and risks to people and building functions. The fire and fire
defenses in each building interact with different sequences and
distinct ways. Risks are characterized by the building s
performance. Significantly updated and restructured new edition
Fire Performance Analysis for Buildings, 2nd Edition organizes the
complex interactions into an analytical framework to evaluate any
building - at any location - built under any regulatory
jurisdiction or era. Systematic, logical procedures evaluate
individual component behavior and integrate results to understand
holistic performance. The Interactive Performance Information (IPI)
chart structures complex time-related interactions among the fire,
fire defenses, and associated risks. Quantification uses
state-of-the-art deterministic methods of fire safety engineering
and fire science. Managing uncertainty is specifically addressed.
Key features: * Emphasizes fire performance analysis for new or
existing buildings. * Augments fire dynamics calculation methods
with qualitative methods to form a more complete understanding of
the effects of hostile fire characteristics on building
performance. * Describes fire ground operations for engineers with
no fire service experience. An analysis evaluates ways the site and
building design help or hinder manual fire suppression. *
Establishes a transition from traditional structural requirements
to modern calculation based structural analysis and design for fire
conditions. Structural concepts are described for non-structural
engineers to enable the roles of each profession to be integrated
into comprehensive performance evaluations. * Addresses techniques
of managing uncertainty to improve understanding and communication
with professionals of other disciplines. * Describes methods of
risk management using information from the building s performance
analysis. Fire Performance Analysis for Buildings, 2nd Edition has
been completely restructured around a performance based framework.
Applications integrate traditional fire defenses with fire science
and engineering to combine component performance with holistic
performance.
