Fire Protection Building Design
Description
A
clear and concise reference guide on integrating fire protection
design, Fire Protection Engineering in Building Design encompasses
not only the basic information on the functions, design, and
applications of fire protection systems; but also reveals how this
information can and should be integrated with every other major
engineering discipline.
Protecting people, buildings and the
environment from the impact of fire requires a comprehensive,
systematic approach that includes the analysis of fire hazards as
well as the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection,
suppression and communications systems. Jane Lataille takes the
reader beyond these basic issues and includes information on
mitigating potential fire damage through proper design and
construction of buildings, industrial processes and utility
systems.
Through specific examples, the reader sees how fire
protection engineering can be integrated with mechanical, electrical,
structural, and chemical engineering. The book also includes a
section on writing fire protection specifications as well as a
comprehensive reference list.
* Assure effective fire
protection design through engineering
* Avoid costly fire
protection redesign
* Effectively integrate fire protection
features into project specifications
