It assigns a rating to the buildings analyzed, based on fundamental parameters, observed in technical and regulatory standards, and also in empirical events resulting from experience in preventing and fighting fires. This work proposes the model and operating procedures for an assessment method called EBRAFire. This case study proposes some recommendations about adapted evacuation strategy and investments to improve the safety of high-rise student’s dormitory in case of fire.ĭue to the increase of rehabilitation works and the knowledge that the majority of the existing buildings was not objected of a fire safety project because there was no regulation at the time of construction, it is necessary to create technical assessment tools suitable to buildings or built sets, especially in more sensitive areas. stairs and outdoor ladders) has a negative impact on the evacuation process than using only the stairs to evacuate the building phased evacuation strategy will not necessarily lead to faster evacuation adding fire doors in the stairs and between the floors has a beneficial effect on the evacuation process. In this paper, a model case study was built and then various scenarios have been implemented to answer some safety questions.įor this building layout, the results demonstrate that combining different egress components (i.e. The performance-based approach consists on using simulation tools such as fire dynamics simulator with evacuation to ensure/verify the level of safety required.
This can be verified in accordance with prescriptive- and performance-based methodologies.
This paper aims to focus on the combination of fire- and agent-based modelling approaches to assess the level of safety of a multi-storeyed building case study.įor an existing building to be occupied such as the engineering student dormitory of Mons (Belgium), engineers must establish, among the other things, that the building affords a sufficient level of safety during fire incident.
