Abstract
Fire in buildings is one of the major threats. This threat is increasing day by day. This problem necessitates the building designers, construction professionals and the fire professional to find the solution. A detailed study with analysis requires towards the existing fire safety measures. This study analysis results will reveals the adequacy of existing measures. In this article one of the multifunctional building is selected as research sample. In this building applied research type is adopted. Case study method is used to study the each component of the building. The planning parameters of the building and the designing of the structural position are observed in depth manner. The non-combustible materials are identified in the construction of the building. The heat resistance adequacy of each components of the building is evaluated with respect to codel recommendations. The basic concept of fire and life safety measures in buildings are common in international, national and the regional level. These recommendations are thoroughly applied in this research work. These works are analyses and the results or findings are derived. These results are summed up and explained about its objectives. The paper is concluded with comprehensive fire safety measures applications in buildings and recommends fire related various factors research in future. The ultimate aim of this article work is to safe guard lives and property in buildings.
Highlights
Fire is the combustion process of burning. It is a chemical reaction, initiated by the sources of heat energy to join with the combustible fuel substance at a particular temperature
The heat sources are available in the buildings are from electrical appliances, gas appliances, oil appliances, fuel appliances, smoking, rubbish burning, children are playing with match boxes, intentional fire makers and other many un known heat sources
The major amount of combustible materials in the building are burnt out, the fire flame, with very high temperature, the fire products with other scrambles are engulfing the entire building, this stage of fire is knows as fully developed fire stage
Summary
Fire is the combustion process of burning It is a chemical reaction, initiated by the sources of heat energy to join with the combustible fuel substance at a particular temperature. The joining of heat source and the fuel starts the chemical process, it is called fire [1,2,3,4] When this chemical process is exposed to direct atmospheric oxygen supply, the chemical process will be in continuous. The building fire is requires sources of heat, combustible fuel substances and the oxygen supply [5, 6]. The combustible fuel substance is available in the buildings are in the form of combustible materials (every day activities required materials) These combustible materials types, quantity will be different in different buildings. These results will direct the professionals to implement possible solution
