Fire Protection Balance in New Codes for Life Safety Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 2

Important Facts… Fire is the most tangible of all visible  mysteries. We can’t rely on a single action to ensure  Life Safety. The Balanced Approach to Fire Protection  is an absolute necessity. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Topic Summary Fire Protection Philosophy  Passive Fire Protection  Active Fire Protection D IIMM Balanced approach in New Codes  UAE Fire Code  International Codes Questions & Close Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

What am I going to talk about? Fire Statistics  UAE Fires – Cause, Prevention, Containment, Role of Authorities  Importance of Life Safety  Fire Protection – Engineering & Philosophy  DIIMM Philosophy  Balanced Fire Protection  Passive  Active  What do codes say?  Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Fire Statistics at a Glance Global Data : 117 million fires worldwide each 1,375 million fires in America alone year At least 5,350 major fires  15 84% deaths are in the residential every day fires 2,855 fire deaths  1 every 184 75% of all fire deaths are caused minutes (all fires) by SMOKE 2,470 fire deaths  1 every 213 60% of people killed in fires are not minutes (structural fires) in the room of it’s origin 16,500 civilian injuries  1 every 50% of survivors could not see 32 minutes more than 3½ m $12.4 billion direct property damages Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Fire Statistics at a Glance UAE Data : Fire in the UAE;  2011: 3,274  2010: 4,980  2009: 2,602  2008: 3,173 34% reduction in fires in 2011 No. of casualties fell to 33 in 2011 (from 174 in 2010) No. of injuries fell to 237 in 2011 (from 2525 in 2010) Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

How did it happen? Key to reduced fires –  Public Awareness  Code Implementation  Code Compliance  Education & Training  Bold Initiatives by AHJ Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

UAE fire incidents 500 times less than in Paris alone Major General Rashid Thani Al Matroushi (DG OF D-CD AND responds to few burning questions - Published Thursday, January 10, 2013 Comparative analysis of fire incidents in 2010 (per 100,000 people) UAE 34 Paris 17,966 Toronto 5,673 Frankfurt 2,570 London 189 Singapore 105 “For the year 2013 we are keen to realize the lowest levels, in terms of the number and size of fire incidents per 100 people and in comparison to the levels in other nations, Mr. Al Matroushi said”.

Fire Protection Philosophy  Life Safety  Property Protection  Continuity of Operation Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Safety Design for Life Safety Keeping the significance of Safety Design in Buildings for human lives in mind, I encourage the audience and all stake-holders – Building Owners, Architects, Consultants, Contractors, AHJ i.e. Civil Defence Authority, Fire Departments – to take up the life safety issues with utmost priority and responsibility… A message with great sense of responsibility towards human lives is reflected in one of the verses from the Holy Qur’an… Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 13

Passive Fire Protection It’s invisible but working all the time! The Sleeping Policeman !!! Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Smoke is the killer? Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

How Fast Does Smoke Travel? Consider A square room 20 ft x 20 ft x 20 ft has a pencil hole between compartments. How long will it take for the smoke to fill the room to a thickness such that you cannot see your hands 18 inches in front of you? Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

20 ft x 20 ft x 20 ft room Pencil Hole 3 minutes 40 seconds Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Passive Fire Protection “Passive” fire protection is an integral part of fire protection engineering. Fire Stopping Fire Proofing Fire Doors Fire Dampers Firestop is a general term for a passive fire protection system. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Where is fire-stop used? Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Through Penetrations Fire Stop System This category addresses openings in fire rated assemblies where penetrants are passing through a fire-rated construction and where the integrity of the wall and/or floor needs to be maintained. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Penetrations Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Membrane Penetration Fire Stop System Openings in fire rated assemblies where only one side of the fire rated barrier is penetrated. Such as electrical outlet boxes and other electrical devices. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Fire Resistive Joint Systems This category addresses any gap, joint, or opening (whether static or dynamic) between two fire-rated barriers including where the top of a wall meets a floor; wall edge to wall edge configurations; floor edge to floor edge configurations; floor edge to wall configurations. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Fire-resistant Joints Edge of Slab Head of Wall Horizontal Joints Vertical Joints Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Perimeter Fire Barriers This category addresses any gap, joint, or opening, whether static or dynamic, between a fire-rated floor assembly and a non-rated exterior wall assembly. Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...

Building Envelop Most talked about issue worldwide! What are the dynamics of vertical spread in a high-rise building? Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 29

Vision Glass (upper floor) Fire attacks the curtain wall structure from both sides causing a premature failure of the wall structure and potentially the vision glass above! Elevated temp. and pressure breaks lower vision glass Flames may erupt through the windows. Oxygen fuels the fire. Rated Floor Assembly and non-rated Curtain Wall System Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 30

A properly designed & tested Perimeter Fire Barrier System not only protects the perimeter joint but critical wall framing and support elements Firestop Coating or Sealant over as well! mineral wool safing Properly installed & supported mineral wool spandrel insulation Rated Floor Assembly and non- rated Curtain Wall System Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 31

Extending the Rated Floor to the Wall... MANDATORY! In rated construction, all floors are rated The perimeter joint must be sealed with an approved material or system that extends this rating to the exterior wall surface Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection... 32 32

Active Fire Protection  Detection & Notification  Suppression & Extinguishing 24 x 7 ! Leading the standards of Life-safety and Property-protection...
