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. The results from these programs and hand calculations have been compared to evacuation simulations done in Simulex. These comparisons together with the interviews
This report contains a description of the fire protection status of nursing home Linnéagården in Gislaved, Sweden, with a focus on evacuation possibility for the people living there. The building design is compared to the rules of fire safety implementation in the Swedish building code. Evacuation calculations and simulations are based on the computer programs Argos (smoke spread etc.) and ERM (Ti
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the personal safety in case of fire at Kupolen, Borlänge. Kupolen is a shoppingmall of three storeys with various types of shops. To define possible fire scenarios a discussion of different possibilities concerning the personal safety has been made. This discussion led to fire and evacuation simulations regarding two shops that best describes a worst case
This report is an evaluation of the fire safety in a recently buildt public facility and school: Hjärupslundsskolan. The school is a two storey building with a basement. Based on the inspection and statistics for school fires, a number of fire scenarios were constructed. Of these, four were chosen and studied in more detail. Times until critical conditions occurred were obtained and compared to th
This project has been a part of the education of Fire Safety Engineers at Lund Institute of Technology. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the safety of the persons inside Birger Jarl in case of a fire. Birger Jarl is mostly used as a nightclub and can host up to 630 persons. The focus in this report is to evaluate the possibility of safe egress from the building in case of a fire and estim
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the fire safety in the retail store ICA Maxi located in Motala, Sweden. One of our main areas of focus was the safe evacuation of the customers. The analysis of the fire safety of the building is based on literature, computer simulations, hand calculations and a site visit. ICA Maxi is separated from other stores in the same building and has several fire sa
This report is a fire safety evaluation of The Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm, Sweden. The purpose is to evaluate the safety regarding fire hazards and evacuation in the building. If the safety is found not to be satisfying this report is supposed to suggest mprovements and changes that shall or should be implemented. After visiting the object, and by weighing probabilities and conseq
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Norrtälje correctional facility. Inmates in closed institutions are not able to perform an unassisted evacuation in case of fire as they are locked in their cells. This requires the assistance of prison staff to escort every inmate to safety. The focus of this report is to evaluate the possibilities of a safe egress from the concerned building in the case
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Center Syd shopping centre in Löddeköpinge, Sweden. The aim was to evaluate the safety of humans in the event of a fire. Property loss, structural damage and environmental effect have not been evaluated. Four scenarios representing the most critical fires to occur were evaluated. Fire modelling has been carried out using hand calculations for the well mix
This report is a fire safety evaluation of the Kvarteret Juno Shopping Centre in Norrtälje. The report aims to determine the public safety in case of fire and to weigh in existing fire safety measures, evaluate them and to present possible additional precautions that need to be taken. From observations made, three different scenarios have been chosen to represent fire out breakage. These scenarios
