Abstract

To prevent fire accidents in high-rise buildings under construction, in this paper, the fire risk assessment of such buildings is studied. First, based on project investigation and a literature review, a fire risk assessment index system suitable for high-rise buildings under construction was established. Second, the unascertained measure theory was applied to establish a fire risk assessment model for high-rise buildings under construction. The index weight was determined by the entropy weight method. Finally, taking a high-rise building project in Xi’an, China, as an example, the feasibility and rationality of the fire risk assessment index system and assessment model were verified. This research provides a new method for objectively assessing the fire risk of high-rise buildings under construction and provides a certain reference for controlling the fire risk of high-rise buildings under construction.

Highlights

  • The continuous progress of society and the development of the economy have resulted in gradual urbanization and the rapid construction of various types of buildings [1, 2]

  • The fire risk of engineering projects under construction has attracted the attention of all sectors of society

  • To discover hidden fire hazards and to reduce the occurrence of fire accidents in high-rise building under construction, this paper studied the fire risk assessment of high-rise buildings under construction

Summary

Introduction

The continuous progress of society and the development of the economy have resulted in gradual urbanization and the rapid construction of various types of buildings [1, 2]. The engineering projects under construction can be seen everywhere. Due to the large amount of combustible and flammable materials on the construction site, many fire and heat sources, poor fire fighting conditions, and high fire risk, and once a fire occurs, it is difficult to fight the fire. The frequent fires of engineering projects under construction have caused serious safety accidents, caused serious property losses and casualties, and brought extremely bad social impacts [3]. The fire risk of engineering projects under construction has attracted the attention of all sectors of society
