Learning Objectives• Provide an understanding of fire
growth, flashover, fully developed fire and fire decay.
• Provide an overview of the basic concepts of developing design fires for smoke control systems.

• Extensive Treatment of All Aspects of Smoke Control
• For more information about design fires, see Chapter 5 “Fire Physics & Design Fires”

Design Fires
• Used for Atrium Smoke Control and Tenability Systems
• IBC– No Prescribed Design Fires– Requires Analysis of Design Fires
• Many Engineers – New to Design Fires
• This Talk: – Overview of Analysis of Design Fires– Focus on Highlights

UK Information on Design Fires
• Industrial & Warehouse (not high racked) -1990 Smoke Ventilation Association Guide:– Sprinklered Steady Fires - 3m x 3m to 9m x 9m.– Unsprinkleres Steady Fires – 2 Times as Big
• Steady Fires in Car Parks – BS 7346-7• Guidance for Offices & Hotels – BS 7346-4 and
5 and in BR368• General Information on Specific Objects:
– BS 7974 (UK fire engineering standard) – BRE design fires database CD

Design Fires
• Normally Most Important Property - Heat Release Rate (HRR)
• Other Properties (toxic gases, reduced visibility, etc.) - Tenability Systems
• For simplicity - Only Discuss HRR
• HRR of a Design Fire:– Steady – Unsteady
• Steady HRR – Peak of Unsteady HRR

Fully Developed Fire
• Called “Ventilation Controlled Fire”• Room with One Opening
– HRR Controlled by Opening Size – HRR Equation
1/ 21260 w wQ A H
where Q = HRR (kW) Aw = area of opening (m2), Hw = height of opening (m).

HRR Measurement
• Oxygen Consumption Calorimeters– HRR per unit O2 Consumed – Almost
Constant (13.1 MJ per kg of oxygen + 6%)– Open Air Calorimeter – Room Calorimeter

Design Fires
• Normal Fuels - Objects Planned for Space• Transient Fuels - In a Space Temporarily
– Examples: Trash, Stacked Wood Pallets, Furniture After Delivery, etc.
• Atrium Fires– Normal & Transient Fuels– No Benefit of Sprinklers (Ceilings > 35 – 45 ft)– Transient Fuels: Suggest Min. 2000 Btu/s
• Non-Atrium Fires– Normal & Transient Fuels– Fires w/ Axisymmetric Plume – CFAST– Shielded Fires (NIST & NRCC Models)
