Outline and Purpose of the Course Even though not outstanding, many safety measures are implemented into buildings and built-environment. In this lecture, basic knowledge of fire phenomena and principles to design and maintain fire safe buildings are explained.
Course Goals By understanding the fundamental physio-chemical phenomena of fire, general principles of fire safety design of building is acquired.
B1:scientific ability to solve problems
B4:understanding environmental aspect of architecture
C1:ability to realize actual buildings
Schedule and Contents Introduction (1 week)
The history of fire disasters in buildings is introduced. Following the history, framework of fire safety design is presented.

Physics and chemistry of fire (6 weeks)
Basic knowledge of fire phenomena such as ignition, burning, fire plume, initial fire spread, flashover and fully-developed fires are introduced.

Fire safety design of buildings (7 weeks)
Methods for fire safety design are introduced on fire compartmentation, egress of people, firefighting activity, smoke control and structural fire resistance.

End-term examination and evaluation of achievements (1 week)
Check degree of understanding.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Score is evaluated based on end-term examination and other materials.
Course Requirements Preliminary knowledge on Environmental engineering in Architecture I[U-ENG24 24009 LJ74] and II[U-ENG24 24010 LJ74] is assumed. The knowledge on Building Equipment System [U-ENG24 34018 LJ74] is desirable.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) It is recommended to review the lectured contents using handouts and/or quiz distributed at the class.
