Since this series started, we have discussed the general commercial construction process along with several of the key components in a commercial building. We started by looking at the design process ...
Pictured: Example of computational fire modeling in a large industrial manufacturing facility. The model shows the fire location, and outputs information such as heat release rate and visibility, ...

Using PBSFD, engineers can predict the behavior of a frame in fire, such as vertical displacement of floor beams over time. Graphic courtesy of SEI/ASCE, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (2019) and SAFIR ...
Today, in educational facility management, the administrators of a growing number of non-standard buildings like auditoriums, arenas, stadiums and structures with atria or large open spaces are ...
Fire safety design is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to minimise risk and ensure structural integrity during fire events by merging advanced material science, computational modelling, and robust ...
In the event of a fire, the control systems governing safe shutdown of IT hardware might need to run for up to an hour, while fire suppression systems and emergency lighting might need to run for up ...
