Abstract
This report contains an evaluation of the personal safety in case of fire at the shopping centre Veddesta Köpcentrum. Three different fire scenarios and design fires are chosen to represent the worst case scenarios likely to occur in the building. Time until critical conditions in each scenario is determined by using the computer program CFAST and
hand calculations. This time is then compared to the egress time, which is estimated by using the computer program Simulex and reference litterature. The main conclusion of the report is that the safety in the building in case of fire is not satisfied. Improvements of the building’s fire safety design must be achieved. The authors main suggestions are that more emergency exits shall be... (More)
This report contains an evaluation of the personal safety in case of fire at the shopping centre Veddesta Köpcentrum.

The main conclusion of the report is that the safety in the building in case of fire is not satisfied. Improvements of the building’s fire safety design must be achieved. The authors main suggestions are that more emergency exits shall be accessible and spiral stairs should be replaced with stairs that are wide enough for two people. Furthermore
shall the building be divided into two fire cells to prevent spread of fire and smoke and a sprinkler system that covers the entire shopping centre shall be installed. (Less)
