Abstract

Abstract Fire is one of the most critical risks devastating to human life and property. Therefore, humans make different efforts to deal with fire hazards. Many techniques have been developed to assess fire safety risks. One of these methods is to predict the outbreak of a fire in buildings, and although it is hard to predict when a fire will start, it is critical to do so to safeguard human life and property. This research deals with evaluating the safety risks of the existing building in the city of Samawah/Iraq and determining the appropriateness of these buildings in terms of safety from fire hazards. Twelve parameters are certified based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA2016) code. The concept of giving weight to each criterion was adopted to classify the criteria according to their importance and then conduct an on-site examination of these existing buildings to test the selected criteria. The result indicates a possible fire risk in these buildings due to the lack of compliance with fire safety instructions in the approved codes.

既有建筑火灾安全风险预测模型的评价

摘要火灾是危害人类生命财产安全的最严重的危险之一。因此，人类在应对火灾隐患方面做出了不同的努力。已经开发了许多评估火灾安全风险的技术。其中一种方法是预测建筑物火灾的爆发，虽然很难预测何时会发生火灾，但这对保护人类的生命和财产至关重要。本研究涉及评估伊拉克萨马瓦市现有建筑物的安全风险，并确定这些建筑物在火灾危险方面的适当性。12个参数根据美国国家消防协会(NFPA2016)规范进行认证。我们采用了赋予每个标准权重的概念，根据这些标准的重要性对其进行分类，然后对这些现有建筑进行现场检查，以测试选定的标准。结果显示，这些楼宇可能存在火警风险，原因是不符合认可守则的消防安全指示。

期刊介绍： The journal focuses on the micromechanics and nanomechanics of materials, the relationship between structure and mechanical properties, material instabilities and fracture, as well as size effects and length/time scale transitions. Articles on cutting edge theory, simulations and experiments – used as tools for revealing novel material properties and designing new devices for structural, thermo-chemo-mechanical, and opto-electro-mechanical applications – are encouraged. Synthesis/processing and related traditional mechanics/materials science themes are not within the scope of JMBM. The Editorial Board also organizes topical issues on emerging areas by invitation.
