Verifying Fire Safety Design in Sprinklered Buildings
(2011) In LUTVDG/TVBB-3150-SE- Abstract
- This report contains a verification method that could be applied when
evaluating trail fire safety design in a performance-based code environment. The report is
focused on design alternatives (i.e. design alternatives) where fire sprinkler systems have an
important role. Three possible verification methods are proposed together with the
procedure on how they could be applied in design. The covered methods are both
qualitative and quantitative (deterministic as well as probabilistic). In order to get full
benefit of a sprinkler system installation, sprinkler performance data is presented together
with a new set of tenability criteria in sprinklered buildings and sprinklered... (More) - This report contains a verification method that could be applied when

Finally, advice is given on specific design situations where fire sprinklers could allow for
design alternatives. (Less)
