This report is a fire safety evaluation of Infra Business Center, Upplands Väsby, Sweden. To collect data and to get a better understanding of the project we visited Infra Business Center in the beginning of our work. The report is based on fire scenarios and computer simulations of evacuation, fire development, and smoke filling. Egress time was simulated with SIMULEX and time to critical conditi
This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Borgsmoskolan in Norrköping, Sweden. It is a school for 13 to 15 years old children. There are totally 430 people in the school. The purpose is to look at individual safety. Computer simulations with Simulex has been used to see how long time evacuation takes in some different scenarios, and fire modelling has been made with CFAST to see how long it
The report contains an evaluation of the fire safety at Linden shopping centre in Norrköping, Sweden. The evaluation concerns evacuation times, fire development, smoke filling and smoke layer temperatures. The modelling has been executed with the computer models FDS, ARGOS, AST/CFAST and SIMULEX which were validated with hand calculations. The report includes suggestions for improvement of the bui
This report presents a fire safety evaluation of a nursing home, Danvikshemmet in Nacka, Sweden. Danvikshemmet was visited in the beginnig of the work to get a better understanding of the building and present fire safety. The fire saftey at Danvikshemmet has been evaluated with four different fire scenarios on different floors. Fire growth, smoke filling, temperature increse and evacuation have be
This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Oden 8, a shopping mall located in Trollhättan, Sweden. The evaluation is based on Swedish laws and regulations, manual calculations, fire modelling using CFAST 3.1.7 and egress simulations using Simulex 2.0. The results have been evaluated with a sensitivity analysis. Conclusions drawn using these results has been used to present suggestions to imp
This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Bålsta centre in the community of Håbo, Sweden. The centre is a shopping mall that includes about 30 stores of different kinds. The evaluation concerns the vacuation of 2000 people in the building during a possible fire situation. To be able to find out if the fire safety is good enough, different methods have been used. First a visit at the Bålsta
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Telge Forum, located in Södertälje, Sweden. Telge Forum has been evaluated regarding both time to untenable conditions and time of evacuation. Time to untenable conditions was simulated, with FDS3 in three cases and with Argos in one case, and time of evacuation was simulated with SIMULEX. The results of these simulations have been evaluated, and based on
This report is a fire safety evaluation for Söraskolan situated in Åkersberga, Sweden. The school has been evaluated regarding both egress time and time to untenable conditions. Egress safety was simulated with SIMULEX and time to untenable conditions was simulated with FDS 4. The assessment in this report is that Söraskolan has several problems and the present fire safety level is not acceptable.
This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Oléo, located in Växjö, Sweden. Oléo is a nightclub with a maximum of 900 guests allowed. The evaluation is based on fire modelling and evacuation simulations with manual calculations and computer simulations. A new sprinkler system has recently been installed to increase the safety in the building in case of a fire. The results has been evaluated,
The purpose of this report is to make an evaluation of the fire safety of Frölunda Kulturhus in Gothenberg, Sweden. The report focuses on the safety of people within the building and does not concern protection of property. The evaluation is based on calculations regarding smoke filling, gas temperature, visibility and evacuation time. The engineering tools that have been used are CFAST, FDS 3.1,
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the fire safety of a shopping mall called Kärnan. The whole project has been carried out as a part of the students' education. The most important part of the evaluation has been the safety of the occupants in case of a fire. As a result of this a lot of different estimations have been made, such as the size of the fire, its location in the building a
This report of the fire safety of Nöjesbåten Bonn in Karlshamn has been made as a part of the fire engineering education at Lund´s University. Nöjesbåten Bonn is a 70 metre long ferry, today without its engines and permanently moored down in Karlshamn harbour, used as a disco with a main floor and two additional pubs. The main objective is life safety, wherefore property protection and safety for
This report is made by four Fire safety engineering students at LTH, Lund and contains a fire safety evaluation. An object were given, Revinge restaurant, Sweden. The object hosts a restaurant, conference rooms, gym, dressing rooms and saunas. A maximum of 400 guests are allowed in Revinge restaurant. Due to different activities the opening hours are long. The object has been evaluated regarding e
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Dunkers kulturhus, Helsingborg. This report has been carried out as a part of the students´ education and does not concern protection of property or environment, but focuses on the safety of people during egress. Dunkers kulturhus, Helsingborg is a commercial four-storey building, which consists of a conserthall, theatre, restaurant, mus
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Hedemora Stadshotell, Sweden. The hotel is a two-storey building from 1860. The purpose is to evaluate the safety of people during evacuation, in case of fire. Structural damages and property loss is not taken into account. Four scenarios that represent critical fires, most likely to occur in the hotel, were chosen. For each scenario, the time to critical
This report is a fire safety evaluation with focus on evacuation of Stenungstorg, Stenungsund, Sweden. The object is a shopping mall combined with apartments and offices. The personal safety has been evaluated for the built-in street, and compartments connected to it, along the west side of the building. The mall was constructed in stages from 1966 and was finished in the beginning of 1990. Today
This report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Väsby Centrum. The report is based on representative fire scenarios, interviews and observations. The fire scenarios have been simulated using CFAST with supporting data from Detact T2.
