Features: Performance-based fire protection design is a novel approach to fire protection system design, representing a scientific methodology grounded in numerous rational conditions. This method integrates the most advanced technologies in the field of building fire protection and is a cutting-edge and highly active area of research. This book comprehensively describes the theory and technical evaluation process of performance-based design: it systematically evaluates performance-based design codes from relevant countries, provides a detailed description of fire loads and combustion processes, analyzes the spread and control mechanisms of smoke during fires, comprehensively explores models and calculation methods for personnel safety evacuation during fires, and constructs a fire resistance calculation system for building structures. Finally, the book applies the relevant calculation theories to practical engineering examples. The book is highly theoretical yet highly practical, reflecting the latest advancements in performance-based fire protection design. It serves as a reference for architects and related professionals and can also be used as a teaching reference book for relevant majors in universities.
