Abstract
Performance evaluation system for existing buildings against fire following earthquake is developed. They consist of the 8 main categories. The main categories are selected as (A) ignition source, (B) fire detection and management, (C) ignition prevention and fire extinguishing system, (D) fire compartment, (F) smoke compartment, (F) power supply system and building maintenance, (G) fire prevention from adjoining buildings, and (H) water leakage with fire fighting. The system could be applied to office buildings, store buildings, restaurants, hotels and their building complex. Case studies by using the proposed method are demonstrated.
