2、ide for the fire engineering design of apartment buildings. The matrix is only intended for guidance and an appropriately qualified fire safety engineer should verify the final design. The three main fire scenarios that should be considered in the design of apartment buildings are: a smouldering fir

Irrespective of the building and occupant characteristics, some minimal fire safety measures should be implemented in all apartments. The following is a list of essential fire safety measures tha

Other occupants remain in their rooms, waiting for fire brigade assistance and advice, and carry out protect

The remaining occupants are directed to evacuate automatically in the following sequence until the fire brigade intervenes. Occupants immediately above the fire floor evacuate after tho

Fire brigade intervention can alter the sequence of evacuation, or halt the evacuation in response to current conditions or any changes. 2 13.2 Occupants at risk For the three fire scenar

8、ios and the three emergency strategies, the following matrix outlines the occupants that are most at risk. 13.3 Matrix variables The fire safety design of apartment buildings consists of numerous variables and interdependencies. These variables have to be considered concurrently to provide the most

9、effective design. The selection of fire safety measures in many cases results in a trade-off between various alternatives. For example, sprinkler protection can permit a reduction in fire resistance rating required for buildings and may allow extended travel distances. These trade-offs and interrela

10、tionships between fire safety measures need to be considered to obtain the most efficient and effective fire safety design. Table 14 lists some of the fire safety measures that should be considered for apartment buildings. The variables presented are not a comprehensive list, and other fire safety measures may be more appropriate for more complex designs. Table 14 Matrix variables
