Hide-The short course is based on the Module Descriptor CIVL8030.

Overview
This newly developed course, will cover design using fire safety engineering principles, together with prescriptive design of several building types, and should be invaluable to both new users of the relevant fire safety codes and standards, and those that may enjoy a refresher course. All building designers and many contractors will find this short course useful, particularly those involved in fire safety design, and certification of building projects.

Hide-• Fire development within an enclosure:
Analyses of time to flashover, fire growth rates, effects of suppression, heat release rates, and calorific values.

• Fire & smoke spread outside initial fire enclosure:
Analyses of smoke containment, plume shape, stratification of smoke, optical density of smoke, and mechanisms of fire spread.

• Fire safety of residential and industrial buildings:
Fire safety engineering comparisons with prescriptive standards for residential and industrial buildings.

• Probabilistic fire safety risk assessments:
Analyses of fire safety risks using, probabilistic risk assessment, comparative and absolute analysis, event tree and fault tree analysis, survivor probability distributions and damage areas after flashover.
