Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories of architectural fire protection design and performance-based fire protection design. The content covers passive fire protection strategies for building fires, such as fire resistance ratings of buildings, fire protection design for steel structures, fire compartments, and smoke control compartments; active fire protection strategies for building fires, including automatic alarm systems, fire suppression systems, and smoke control systems; fundamental theories of fire load, fire combustion, and fire scenario setup; smoke characteristics and smoke flow patterns, as well as calculations of smoke flow; safety evacuation design and performance-based design theories and calculations; case studies of performance-based fire protection design for buildings; and hazard identification theories and risk assessment methods. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for students majoring in building environment and equipment engineering, safety engineering (fire protection engineering), and architectural design at universities, as well as a reference for fire protection engineering researchers, teachers, and professionals involved in building fire protection design and review.
