The smoke detectors arrangement in rooms with girts related to British standard BS 5839-1

Smoke detectors as fire detectors present the most frequently used fire detectors from all other detectors. Their great appliance is enabled because smoke presents the consequence of f almost every fire. The realisation of these detectors can be in the form of point smoke detectors, in the form of linear smoke detectors and in the form of special smoke detectors. Generally, there are rules for arrangement of these detectors related to valid standards. Standards in some cases can be similar, but in some cases, there can be some differences between standards. This is specially noted for smoke detectors arrangement in special cases. One of such case is room with girts. Girts can be different located in room and can have functional or aesthetic purpose. This paper was written to present smoke detectors arrangement in room with girts, with different room`s height, related to British standard BS 5839-1 and test all potential cases using FDS simulator.
