Abstract
This study investigates the impact of plan corner shapes on the propagation rate of fire in high-rise buildings. Employing the PyroSim fire simulation program, a systematic modeling approach was adopted to simulate fire spread in a 12-storey building with varying plan corner shapes. The findings reveal that plan corners exhibiting straight configurations devoid of protrusions or recesses exhibit a reduced risk of fire spread when contrasted with irregular shapes. Consequently, we propose the integration of regular plan shapes lacking protrusions or recesses in the design of high-rise buildings to effectively minimize the rate of fire spread. This research contribution facilitates the selection of an optimal design alternative with respect to the velocity at which fire propagates.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering aims to provide a forum for the publication of papers on the most recent developments in the theoretical and practical aspects of these important fields. Safety and Security Engineering, due to its special nature, is an interdisciplinary area of research and applications that brings together in a systematic way many disciplines of engineering, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. The Journal covers areas such as crisis management; security engineering; natural disasters and emergencies; terrorism; IT security; man-made hazards; risk management; control; protection and mitigation issues. The Journal aims to attract papers in all related fields, in addition to those listed under the List of Topics, as well as case studies describing practical experiences. The study of multifactor risk impact will be given special emphasis. Due to the multitude and variety of topics included, the List is only indicative of the themes of the expected papers. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in all areas of Safety and Security, with particular attention to integrated and interdisciplinary aspects.
