0.0

This design guide to building fire safety works from first principles and explains the basic strategies of fire safety design available to the architect. The book is particularly appropriate for students of architecture and building, and a series of basic tables provides sufficient detailed information for them to apply the principles to design projects. A new chapter on fire risk assessment highlights the importance of this part of the subject. Because this book takes a "principles" approach to building fire safety design it should be of interest in all countries regardless of the prevailing government legislation. This book should be of interest to architects, students of architecture, fire prevention officers, building control officers, fire safety design consultants, fire technologists.
