Fire Protection And Life Safety Analysis Of A Chicago Hotel, Thomas Hampton
Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
The following report contains an analysis of the life safety and fire protection features of a Chicago Hotel. The report is intended to meet the requirements for the Culminating Experience of the Cal Poly Master of Science Fire Protection Engineering Program.
The Chicago Hotel building chosen for the analysis is a mixed-use 7-story hotel. On the 1st, 2nd, and 7th floors of the building are spaces for mercantile and restaurant tenants as well as other spaces necessary for the operation of the building such as back of house space for the hotel, storage, employee locker rooms, hotel and retail lobbies, …

Building B: Fire And Life Safety Analysis, Joseph Radford Sellers
Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
A fire and life safety analysis was performed on Building B at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, TN. This report was completed as a fulfillment of one of the requirements for the Masters of Science in Fire Protection Engineering Program from the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, CA. The analysis consisted of a prescriptive, or code-based analysis, and a performance-based analysis.
The prescriptive analysis composed of four main areas: Life Safety, Fire Alarm and Detection, Structural Fire Protection, and Fire Suppression. The prescriptive analysis was performed to determine if Building B is …

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
This report describes the building code compliance of a military aircraft hangar. The facility is evaluated for both prescriptive code compliance and for a performance-based compliance via the use of design fires analyzed with computer programs Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and occupant egress analyzed with Pathfinder software as well as hand calculations utilizing Excel.
The prescriptive code analysis is done based upon a combination of Unified Facilities Criteria, International Building Code, and NFPA 101 codes and standards. Prescriptive compliance was checked against the building non separated occupancies of S-1 and B. The building was evaluated for building construction type IIB. …

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
This report analyzes the fire protection systems of Engineering IV building at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. It is a cumulative project of the Fire Protection Engineering Program at Cal Poly. The report consists of a prescriptive analysis and a performance-based design analysis. The building contains dry laboratories, classrooms, offices, and administrative spaces. The building is a three-story structure. There is an atrium that connects the first floor to the third floor. However, the building has a horizontal enclosure to separate the connection between the second floor and the third floor.
The prescriptive analysis is based on the …
