| dc.description.abstract | The accurate prediction of thermal conditions within compartment fires poses a significant challenge for fire safety engineers. In fact, sprinkler design, exit sceneries, and collapse structure configurations are closely related to the temporal evolution of the temperature inside the compartments. Through a comprehensive review of existing methodologies and standards, this study attempts to contribute for advancing the state of the art in fire dynamics modelling. The work deals with a comparative analysis of various temperature-time formulations proposed in the literature, providing insights into the discrepancies between theoretical models and real-world standards. It investigates the influence of key factors namely, the opening factor, the fuel load density, and the walls effusivity, on temperature histories. The natural fire curve, such as EPFC leads towards real world planning requirements, allows for a more tailored and pragmatic assessment for large-scale compartment fires, compared to the standard curves. The analysis aims, through a case study, to provide designers and architects with a practical way that facilitates early-stage planning and allows for effective fire prevention implementations. | eng |
