Educational Background

Cities are facing unprecedented challenges. The pace of urbanization is increasing exponentially. In last two decades, there have been signifi-cant changes in building typologies being constructed. Buildings are becoming more and more complex such as high rise buildings, atriums, underground car parks, transport tunnels, airports etc. There are numbers of fire instances, both historical and more recent, which have raised concerns regarding fire safety in such buildings. Therefore, it becomes essential to carry out systematic design for an effective fire protection system and timely evacuation of occupants from burning buildings.

Recognizing the need to develop a pool of trained professionals in Design of Fire Protection Systems, CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee is conducting a two day course on “Design of Fire Protection Measures for Mass Housing and Infrastructure Projects: A Practical Approach & Case Studies” during March 5th & 6th 2019 at its premises.

India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Rd., Near Airforce Bal Bharati School, Lodi Colony, New Delhi.

Date Signature

The broad topics will include:

1. Introduction to Fire Safety and its Components● Fire scenarios and design fires● Hazard and commodity classification

2. Active Fire Protection Systems ●

3. Automatic Sprinkler System Theory ● Fundamentals of sprinkler performance● Types of sprinklers (standard, ESFR), Response time, Orientation etc.● Design Implementaion ● Installation guidelines● Overview of sprinkler system layout ● Hydraulic calculations● Sprinkler system spacing

4. Detection System● Types of Detectors ● Installation Guidelines

5. Passive Fire Protection Systems ● Compartmentation - Importance, Principles & Design Approaches

6. Fire Resistance of Building Elements● Fire Codes, Standards & Test Methods

7. Reaction to Fire of Different Materials● Combustibility, Ignitability, Surface Spread of Flame, Toxicity, Limiting Oxygen Index● Fire Codes, Standards & Test Methods

8. Life Safety● Egress Design for the Built Environment

9. Regulations● IS codes – NBC (IV), IS 15105, IS 13039, IS 3844, IS 2189● BS 476● NFPA codes● FM global Data SheetsAll Standards and codes will be discussed along with above sections.

9. Case Studies● Case study of a hospital building ● Post Fire Investigation

This course is planned to provide an overview of fire codes/ design considerations with respect to Active systems, Passive systems, and Life Safety measures that must be provided in a building and how to assess a building's compliance with those codes. The pedagogy will include presentations and hands on experience with special emphasis on case studies.

Most commonly used Active fire protection systems in the built environment include standpipe systems, sprinkler systems and detec-tion systems. Fire officers / Safety Officers / Designers should know facts to look upon while designing / approving for installation of these systems in a particular type of built environment. This becomes more important in densely populated occupancies like hospitals, metros, offices and hazardous occupancies like in industries, stores / warehous-es, car parks etc. It has been observed that inappropriate installation of these systems may render them ineffective or useless in time of need.

Little effort is made to compartmentalize the building in order to prevent fire and smoke from spreading both horizontally and vertically resulting in death of people due to asphyxiation. Also, there is a lack of understanding of impact of fire on structural elements. Materials also play an important role in restricting spread of fire and smoke.

Therefore, this endeavor is to make aware the fire officers/ safety people/ designers to brush up their existing knowledge with the current state of art in Fire Protection Systems.
