INVESTIGATION INTO FIRE LOAD CONSIDERING DISTRIBUTION OF FURNITURE ETC.(Fire Safety)

Abstract

New method such as effective fuel surface area exposing to space were proposed to analyze the fact of the products, contents and locations in a room. A formatted datasheet with the new method was used to investigate the information to create a design fire considering localized fire. New method gave important information on the distribution of the contents in a space, such as distance between objects, and between the object and the wall, and heat release rate of each contents. This analysis is expected to be significant information to evaluate design fire at the particular space, especially for entrance and hallway, which is expected to be localized fire.
