Scientific problem*
Today''s fire engineering methodologies are often based on oversimplified assumptions about the relationships between fire load, fire resistance behaviour of structures, human behaviour and the factors that lead to changes in the fire situation. Generally applied approaches may not accurately reflect the complex dynamics of real fires, the real behaviour of structures in fire, and the diversity and unpredictability of human behaviour in emergency situations. As a result, the fire safety of the designed buildings and the chances of escape for people may not be at the desired level of risk or may not be sustainable in the long term. Balancing fire safety, i.e. sustainable fire safety, requires a complex, data- and network-based engineering methodology, which nowadays needs to be developed.
Research objectives:
To develop realistic and complex models to integrate the realistic fire resistance behaviour of structures, human behaviour/rescue, and changes in the fire situation into risk-based fire safety design methodology.
New scientific result to be achieved:
The research will result in more accurate and reliable fire engineering design, which will contribute to improving fire safety in buildings, increasing people''s chances of escape and reducing human and material losses from fires. The risk-based approach allows for the optimisation of fire protection measures, which also has economic benefits.
• Develop more reliable models that better describe real fires (data-driven, BIM models, augmented reality, etc.).
• Development of models to better predict the fire resistance behaviour of structures (complex simulations, network research).
• Develop tools and methods to model human behaviour and escape more realistically (complex simulations, network research).
• To create a single integrated risk-based fire design methodology that takes into account the real dynamics of fire, the real behaviour of structures, human factors and changes in the fire situation.
• Validation of the methodology based on real data, experimental results and behavioural research.
• Facilitate the practical application of the methodology by developing software and training materials.
