Office Building- Fire Protection Systems Evaluation, Christine Newton

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

This report is a Life Safety Code (LSC) and fire protection systems evaluation of an office building located in Colorado. This report covers the prescriptive analysis of the building, as well as the performance‐based aspect of the evaluation.

The prescriptive analysis of this report includes assessment of the building code for structural design, means of egress, detection and notification systems, smoke control system, and the water‐ based fire suppression system for this building. The 2012 International Building Code (IBC) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 101 LSC were used for the prescriptive based evaluation and the building was determined …

New Burke Museum- Fire And Life Safety Overview And Atrium Design Analysis, Justin Schmidt

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

This paper compares two design approaches for a 4-story atrium. The subject is the New Burke Museum building that is currently under construction in Seattle, WA. Under normal conditions, this building has four levels that are connected by different horizontal and vertical openings. The building design utilizes a series of vertical and horizontal acting fire doors to create separation and eliminate the atrium condition. The building’s alternate design is compared to a traditional atrium design meeting the requirements of section 404 of the IBC with an active smoke control system designed using NFPA 92B. In order to complete the analysis …

Centennial Station- Evaluation, Brandon Huffman

Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports

The purpose of this analysis is for completion of FPE 596 Culminating Experience in Fire Protection Engineering course in the Fire Protection Engineering Program at California Polytechnic State University. This analysis has been compiled using previous design courses evaluating the egress analysis, suppression design, alarm and detection design, smoke control system design, and structural fire protection. The context of the courses studied both prescriptive and performance based design approaches.

The building chosen for the analysis is Centennial Station located approximately 15 miles south of Denver, Colorado at 12154 East Easter Avenue, Englewood, CO 80112. The facility was designed specifically for …
