Abstract

Fire safety engineering (FSE) provides means to design fire safety measures which are balanced with respect to their effectiveness and benefits. The presentation describes a risk-based FSE approach and its use to analyse structural fire resistance with respect to its significance in improving fire safety. The analysis is applied to two single-story steel-framed buildings representing low and high-risk buildings. The approach employs probabilistic fire simulation using the novel PFS-Ozone tool. The influence of the active fire safety measures are incorporated to the model using the novel time-dependent event tree method. In the high-risk building, the analysis of structural stability is given an in-depth consideration using 3D thermo-mechanical analysis.
