Description
General description of building fires, elements of probability theory; BETA reliability index; the Monte Carlo method; event and fault trees; performance based optimal design; risk analysis of fire initiation; personal factors in a fire; probabilistic modelling of barrier resistance; a stochastic fire growth model; a stochastic model of smoke spread; a stochastic model for human behaviour; performance assessment of fire safety systems; stochastic modelling of fire brigade response; Case study: risk analysis of an assembly hall; Case study: the building at 140 William Street
Aims to bridge the gap between risk assessment and fire safety engineering. This book is suitable for teaching Fire Engineering components in a range of engineering courses for senior graduates and for postgraduate students of Fire Engineering. It describes theory and models involved in risk analysis.
