Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

The MCS Building is a medical clinic facility located in Phoenix, Arizona. It is a four-story building with roughly 40,000 square feet of occupied floor area per story. The MCS Building is connected to an adjoining hospital on all four occupied stories, and is not considered a separate building from the hospital in accordance with the 2012 International Building Code (IBC). However, for the academic purposes of this report, only the fire and life safety features of the MCS Building are discussed, as if it is a separate building. It consists primarily of medical offices and outpatient clinics, and is …

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

A Fire Protection Engineering Analysis was performed on TA‐3‐0040, Physics Building at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The goal of the analysis has two parts; first, to examine the buildings fire protection features from a code based prescriptive analysis and second, to examine the building and fire protection features using a performance based design analysis.

Building 40 is a 2 story structure approximately 187,000 square feet. The building was constructed in the mid‐1950s with a first floor, basement, partial sub‐basement, and various mezzanines. Originally, this building was constructed as a non‐combustible type IIB structure according …
