Summary of the fire protection foundation report - fire safety challenges of tall wood buildings
Buildings constructed from engineered timber are becoming more prevalent globally as building designers, owners and architects realize the sustainability opportunities with timber construction and the overall aesthetic of a completed timber building. As timber buildings are planned to be taller than many model codes permit, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Protection Foundat...
متن کاملHeat Release Rate of an Open Kitchen Fire of Small Residential Units in Tall Buildings
In the Far East, many small units of residential buildings over 200 m tall are fitted with open kitchens. Fire safety provisions of these kitchens are determined by performance-based design (PBD). In most PBD projects, only the spread of smoke from the kitchen fire to the outside was studied. However, a fire load survey in Hong Kong indicated that large quantities of combustibles are stored in ...
متن کاملFire Safety Concern on Open Kitchen in Small Residential Units of Tall Buildings
Open kitchens have been designed for many small residential units in tall buildings in Southeast Asia. This open design, without enclosing the kitchen with fire resisting walls has failed to comply with building fire safety codes in places like Hong Kong. Performance-based design was adopted to determine fire safety provisions. Gas cookers with flames are not allowed. Additional fire protection...
متن کاملUsing Recyclable Steel Material in Tall Buildings
Recycling steel building components is key to the sustainability of a structure’s end-of-life, as it is the most economical solution. In this paper the effects of usage of recycled steel material in tall buildings aspects are investigated. Keywords—Building, recycled material, steel, structure.
متن کاملAerodynamic Admittance Function of Tall Buildings
The aerodynamic admittance function (AAF) has been widely invoked to relate wind pressures on building surfaces to the oncoming wind velocity. In current practice, strip and quasi-steady theories are generally employed in formulating wind effects in the along-wind direction. These theories permit the representation of the wind pressures on building surfaces in terms of the oncoming wind velocit...
