Fire And Life Safety Analysis Of The Bonderson Engineering Projects Center, Brian Sackett
Fire And Life Safety Analysis Of The Bonderson Engineering Projects Center, Brian Sackett
Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
As part of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science in Fire Protection Engineering from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, a prescriptive and performance based design analysis was conducted for the Bonderson Engineering Projects Center building (Cal Poly campus). The purpose of this analysis was to review the Bonderson Engineering Projects Center’s compliance with applicable and recognized fire and building codes with regards to its fire protection systems and features. The fire protection systems and features analyzed in this report include: 1) Egress Systems, 2) Structural Fire Protection, 3) Fire Detection and Alarm Systems, 4) Fire …
Design Analysis Of An Air Force Fuel Cell Maintenance Hangar, Andrew Carmean
Design Analysis Of An Air Force Fuel Cell Maintenance Hangar, Andrew Carmean
Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
A Fuel Cell Maintenance Hangar (FCMH) was constructed in 2013 based on a 2012 design; Figure 1.1.1 is a rendering shown below. This report evaluates the design for life safety, and property protection systems. The facility was designed based on Air Force standard prescriptive methods; the resultant design is compared to minimum prescriptive methods and to as-built drawings. In addition, the property protection design criteria were evaluated by simulating the maximum expected design fire in a hangar bay 1 using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). Section 1 consists of a general overview of the FCMH including descriptions of the facility and …

Fire And Life Safety Report- Agricultural Sciences Building- Cal Poly, Jonathan Schram
Fire Protection Engineering: Culminating Experience Project Reports
The purpose of this fire and life safety analysis is to provide a conclusion on whether the Agricultural Sciences Building (ASB) meets fire safety goals. The primary fire safety goal is to provide building occupants a safe environment during fire conditions. This goal can be achieved by protecting the occupants not intimate with the initial fire development and improving survivability of those occupants intimate with the initial fire development. A prescriptive-based design approach and a performance-based design approach are used to evaluate building safety. The prescriptive-based approach is used to evaluate the building's structural fire protection systems, fire detection and …
