The purpose of this project was to evaluate the fire safety of the ferryterminal in Kapellskär, Norrtälje. The whole project has been carried out as a part of the students’ education. The most important part of the evaluation has been the safety of the occupants in case of fire. As a result of this a lot of different estimations have been made, such as the size of the fire, its location in the bui

The purpose of this report was to make an evaluation of the fire safety of Dalheimers Hus in Gothenburg, Sweden. Dalheimers Hus is a nine storey building with a rehabilitation center for disabled people. An evaluation of the fire safety concerning fire development, smoke layer height and evacuation times was made. Different fire scenarios were studied and simulated in FAST/CFAST to get the time wh

This report contains an evaluation of personal safety in case of fire at Plus-huset, Avesta, Sweden. The building has two storeys above ground, a shopping mall at ground level and a hotel on the first floor. The evaluation concentrates mainly on the hotel with its night club for up to 500 guests and has been made using the computer models CFAST and Simulex together with hand calculations for smoke

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Landskrona Theatre, a 100-year old theatre in Sweden. Times to critical conditions have been calculated with ARGOS in three cases and with FDS4 in one case. Evacuation time has been calculated with Simulex. The fire safety for people in the building has been evaluated based upon the results of the calculations and suggestions to improve the fire safety of

In order to secure a safe evacuation for visitors to Harry’s nightclub in Norrköping a fire safety evaluation has been conducted. In this fire safety evaluation different scenarios have been studied. In every scenario fire calculations have been made and then compared with evacuation times. The current fire protection system has also been compared to Boverkets byggregler, the Swedish building code

The purpose of this report is to review and assess the life safety in case of fire in the high-rise part of the Hospital of Danderyd, Sweden, with focus on nursing ward 61. This ward is situated on the sixth floor out of 16 in the high rise building 20. The ward mainly runs post intestinal surgical care. The analysis evaluates four different scenarios using hand calculations and several computer s

This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Le Cardinal, a restaurant and nightclub located in Helsingborg, Sweden. A normal Saturday evening Le Cardinal has about 400 guests in very various ages, from 20 to over 60 according to information from Johan Fredholm, safety responsible on Le Cardinal. The report only covers the early stages of the fire until untenable environments occur. It just co

This report has been done to evaluate the fire safety in saloon Cheyenne with staff area at High Chaparral. It has been a goal in this report to be able to give a specific number of people to each of the departments and this has been done. Different safety systems have been added to the building during simulations and the requirement of the systems has been investigated. The safety systems have be

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Gevahuset. The report is based on a number of representative fire scenarios and computer simulations of evacuation and fire development. Suggestions on improvement of the safety lever are presented. The programs used, as tools in the evaluation process, are FDS, SIMULEX, Detact T2 and FAST. The program FDS has generated output concerning

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Infra Business Center, Upplands Väsby, Sweden. To collect data and to get a better understanding of the project we visited Infra Business Center in the beginning of our work. The report is based on fire scenarios and computer simulations of evacuation, fire development, and smoke filling. Egress time was simulated with SIMULEX and time to critical conditi

This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Borgsmoskolan in Norrköping, Sweden. It is a school for 13 to 15 years old children. There are totally 430 people in the school. The purpose is to look at individual safety. Computer simulations with Simulex has been used to see how long time evacuation takes in some different scenarios, and fire modelling has been made with CFAST to see how long it

The report contains an evaluation of the fire safety at Linden shopping centre in Norrköping, Sweden. The evaluation concerns evacuation times, fire development, smoke filling and smoke layer temperatures. The modelling has been executed with the computer models FDS, ARGOS, AST/CFAST and SIMULEX which were validated with hand calculations. The report includes suggestions for improvement of the bui
