This report is a part of the course fire safety evaluation at Lund Univeristy and constitutes an evaluation of the security from a human safety point of view in case of fire at Kvarnbergsskolan on Värmdö. A visit to the school has been made, where the premises were documented and the existing fire protection was studied. Demarcations were done, and then the worst plausible fire scenarios were asse

This report contains an evaluation of occupant safety if a fire would occur in Ejendals Arena, home arena for Leksands IF. The fire scenarios that are considered to be dimensioning to the evacuation situation are: display case fire at a trade fair in the main entrance stage fire at a concert in the arena storage fire in the enclosure Inlastningen Calculations and simulations are carried out to det

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the evacuation safety of Idrottens Hus in Helsingborg. The report is part of the educational programme of Fire Protection Engineering at Lund University. Idrottens Hus is a large sports center in downtown Helsingborg, Sweden. A number of likely fire scenarios were evaluated. For each scenario a design fire was created. The design fires were simulated in CF

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Hötorgshallen in Stockholm. In order to assess the human safety in the building the authors have analyzed three different fire scenarios with respect to fire development and human egress. The results show that human safety cannot be guaranteed in case of fire and measures must be taken to assure that safe evacuation can be achieved before critical conditi

This report is a part of the mandatory course “Fire Safety Evaluation” given by the Department of Fire Safety Engineering and Systems Safety at Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden. The report aims to give an evaluation of the personal safety on Slagthuset in Malmö in case of fire, only taking human hazards into consideration. The procedure is to compare the time to egress with the time to critica

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Folkets Hus in Gislaved, Sweden. Its given purpose is to focus on the human safety and evacuation possibilities before critical conditions can emerge. The building offers a wide range of activities mainly including cinema and theater performances, conferences and gathering opportunities. To inves-tigate if the fire safety is of a satisfactory level, three

This report aims to present a fire safety evaluation of Ward 043, Children & Youth, at Centralsjukhuset in Kristianstad. Based upon information acquired during a visit to the hospital on February the 8th, 2010, a number of analyses were carried out to assess the current fire safety. Fire- and evacuation simulations, along-side an index-method were the most important tools used in the evaluatio

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Societetshuset on Marstrand. Its purpose is to focus on the human safety and evacuation possibilities. Societetshuset is mainly a restaurant, nightclub and a conference center, some nights there can be as much as 700 guests hosted in the building. Two scenarios have been analyzed through computer modeling and hand calculations, and the results were that t

This report has arisen due to lack of fire protection in the upper secondary school Västerhöjdgymnasiet in Skövde, Sweden. The report analyzes demands on personal safety when evacuating the building based on applicable laws and regulations; no emphasis has been taken regarding economic losses. The goal is to achieve a satisfactory evacuation in case of fire. The chosen acceptance criterion is that

This report evaluates the personal safety issues in the event of fire in the Swedish shopping mall “Galleria Flanaden” in Värnamo. The building and its businesses’ compliance with Swedish fire safety legislation is verified (most importantly BBR 2008 and SFS 2003:778). Weaknesses in personal safety (means of evacuation) in the event of fire are verified through an exhaustive on-site inspection and

The report is a part of the course Fire Safety Evaluation given by the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden. The report is a fire safety evaluation of Veddesta Shopping Center in Järfälla, northeast of Stockholm. It focuses on personal safety and takes no consideration to environmental or economical damages. Four fire scenarios have been chosen and analyz

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current fire hazard and evacuation safety in one of Staffanstorps elementary schools, Hagalidskolan. The report is written as a part of the educational program in Fire and Safety Engineering at Lund University. Evacuation and human safety is the main focus and therefore damage that affects structural stability and property damage is not evaluated in th

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Folkets Hus in Svedala, Sweden. The human safety is considered sufficient if the time required to complete evacuation is shorter than the time for critical conditions to emerge (available safe egress time). Based on the likelihood of occurrence and potential consequences, two representative fire scenarios were identified to verify if the human fire safety

This report is the final result of a project in the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering VBR054 at Lunds University, Faculty of engineering, spring term of 2010. The aim has been to practise problem solving and to apply knowledge from previous courses with the purpose of evaluating the public safety in case of a fire, on an existing object. The object is a building on an area previously belonging to

This report contains an evaluation of the fire safety regarding evacuation at PUB-huset, Stockholm. PUB-huset is a shopping-mall situated in the heart of the Swedish capital and it is a highly visited building. To evaluate the safety of the building a risk analysis determined the three scenarios with the highest likelihood of occurring and the worst consequence if they occur. The time to critical

The thesis deals with the representation of fantasy in modern film with special regards to parallel-world stories. In order to demarcate parallel worlds from other types of magical worlds in fantasy stories, the thesis contains an extensive chapter of definitions. Starting out with Todorov’s and Jackson’s well-known theories on fantasy / the fantastic, the thesis turns to other approaches allowing

Bound by the European Union policy, Poland needs to increase the share of renewable energy by 7,5% by 2010 and 15% by 2020. Biomass was once viewed as the largest potential for expansion of renewable energy in Poland. However, in the light of this thesis work, it appears that recent legislation and the standpoint of the State Forest Company will result in the barely emerging market for biomass fro

Det vanligaste transportsättet idag är bilen och fordonet är uppställt i långt större utsträckning än det är i färd. Detta skapar behov av stora ytor för parkering som idag ofta är avgiftsfria. Uppsatsen behandlar hur detta behov uppstod och hur samhället hanterar de olika parkeringssituationer som uppstår, med koncentration på Lunds kommun. Den väsentliga frågeställningen är vem som betalar parke
