The Impact

Entertainment places have special structure; large fire load, personnel-intensive features, and function layout often change in the process of operation, so the fire risk level will change frequently. The current fire risk assessment studies for only one stage in entertainment places without considering the impact of risk factors at different stages. For this situation, this paper presents a fire risk assessment method in entertainment places based on full life cycle, divides the entertainment places into different stages, analyzes risk factors at different stages, and then uses the method of Gustav to get the fire risk levels of different stages. The assessment results show that the level of fire risk in entertainment places are different at different stages, you can take the appropriate risk control measures against fire risk factors at different stages, which has important guiding significance for fire risk management in entertainment places.

Background and Aim: This study tries to assess the risk level of fire in an educational environment by FRAME software in a practical method. Then, some effective strategies were proposed to reduce the risk level of fire and secure the environment as much as possible. Methods: In this practical study, the fire risk assessment was carried out in an educational environment by Fire Risk Assessment Method for Engineers (FRAME) ؛ this risk assessment was done in three sections including building and contents, residents and activities. It was tried to gain the highest fire security for the educational environment by using practical and logical control measures. Required data was gathered by studying and monitoring the situation, observation, interview, referring to available documents and measuring some parameters, regulatory inventory and checklist according to the requirements of the FRAME executive instruction. The calculation was done by FRAME software. Results: The results showed the risk levels of fire for the educational environment were unacceptable in residents (R=2.7) and activities (R=3.8) sections; although some parts such as laboratories, libraries and partitioning parts in the building section had a high-risk level (R> 1). Some preventive measures were recommended for reducing the risk level of fire and improving the security of situation by considering some effective factors؛ the results showed a significant reduction in the risk level of fire in all three sections within the acceptable level (R< 1). Conclusion: The results showed that the FRAME method can assess and determine the quantity of risk level and provide suitable controlling methods to improve the security of fire in the educational environment by considering the opportunities and challenges of the existing environment.

The Impact

As the use of risk assessments for correctional populations has grown, so has concern that these instruments exacerbate existing racial and ethnic disparities. While much of the attention arising from this concern has focused on how algorithms are designed, relatively little consideration has been given to how risk assessments are used. To this end, the present study tests whether application of the risk principle would help preserve predictive accuracy while, at the same time, mitigate disparities. Using a sample of 9,529 inmates released from Minnesota prisons who had been assessed multiple times during their confinement on a fully-automated risk assessment, this study relies on both actual and simulated data to examine the impact of program assignment decisions on changes in risk level from intake to release. The findings showed that while the risk principle was used in practice to some extent, the simulated results showed that greater adherence to the risk principle would increase reductions in risk levels and minimize the disparities observed at intake. The simulated data further revealed the most favorable outcomes would be achieved by not only applying the risk principle, but also by expanding program capacity for the higher-risk inmates in order to adequately reduce their risk.

Fire Loads

Large spaces, such as warehouses where internal loads are stored, exhibit higher fire loads and faster fire growths than general fires. In addition, the volume of the internal load reduces the space required for the smoke to stay, thereby accelerating the decline in smoke height. To prevent fire hazards in such spaces, it is necessary to evaluate the fire risk during the design stage. However, it is difficult to evaluate various settings because the evaluation method using the existing computational fluid dynamics utilize considerable amount of time. In this study, an algorithm was developed to evaluate the internal loads by using formulas related to the existing fire risk assessment. The developed algorithm is designed to easily calculate the detection time of the detector, smoke fall time, and sprinkler operation time. This algorithm could be used to design an optimized fire protection system in the initial design stage.

Fire Risk Assessment

Building fires are characterized by high uncertainty, so their fire risk assessment is a very challenging task. Many indexes and parameters related to building fires are ambiguous and uncertain; as a result, a flexible and robust method is needed to process quantitative or qualitative data and update existing information when new data are available. This paper presents a novel model to deal with the uncertainty of the residential building fire risk and systematically optimize its performance effectiveness. The model includes fuzzy theory, evidence reasoning theory, and expected utility methods. Fuzzy analysis hierarchy process is applied to analyze the residential building fire risk index system and determine the weights of the risk indexes, while the evidence reasoning operator is used to synthesize them. Three buildings were selected as a case study to illustrate the proposed fire risk model. The results show that the fire risk level of three buildings corresponds to “moderate” or below which is consistent with the previous study. These results also truly reflect the actual situation of fire safety in these residential buildings. The application of this model provides a powerful mathematical framework for cooperative modeling of the fire risk assessment system and allows data to be analyzed step by step in a systematic manner. It is expected that the proposed model could provide managers and researchers with flexible and transparent tools to effectively reduce the fire risk in the system.

Fire Risk Assessment

A comprehensive fire risk assessment is very important in dense urban areas as it provides an estimation of people at risk and property. Fire policy and mitigation strategies in developing countries are constrained by inadequate information, which is mainly due to a lack of capacity and resources for data collection, analysis, and modeling. In this research, we calculated the fire risk considering two aspects, urban infrastructure and the characteristics of a high-rise building for a dense urban area in Zanjan city. Since the resources for this purpose were rather limited, a variety of information was gathered and information fusion techniques were conducted by employing spatial analyses to produce fire risk maps. For this purpose, the spatial information produced using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and then attribute data (about 150 characteristics of each high-rise building) were gathered for each building. Finally, considering high-risk urban infrastructures, like the position of oil and gas pipes and electricity lines and the fire safety analysis of high-rise buildings, the vulnerability map for the area was prepared. The fire risk of each building was assessed and its risk level was identified. Results can help decision-makers, urban planners, emergency managers, and community organizations to plan for providing facilities and minimizing fire hazards and solve some related problems to reduce the fire risk. Moreover, the results of sensitivity analysis (SA) indicate that the social training factor is the most effective causative factor in the fire risk.
