APPLICATION OF FIRE SAFETY TECHNOLOGY IN HIGH-RISE BUILDING / COMMERCIAL

BUILDING

1. Current situation for topic

Fire safety technology in high-rise and commercial buildings has advanced significantly,
driven by the need to protect occupants and property in these densely populated structures.
The increasing complexity of high-rise building designs and evolving regulations have
spurred innovations in fire detection, suppression, and evacuation technologies

2. Problem Statement

High-rise and commercial buildings present unique vulnerabilities to fire-related incidents

due to their complex architecture, high occupant density and technology integration.
Conventional methods of fire prevention, detection and suppression often fail to effectively
manage these risks in such structures. As cities continue to grow vertically, increasing scale
and complexity of building design worsen these challenges, imposing severe constraints on
emergency response times and the effectiveness of firefighting approaches.

3. Research Aim

The primary aim of applying fire safety technology in high-rise and commercial buildings is to
safeguard human life, protect property, and ensure business continuity. This involves a
comprehensive approach that includes preventing the outbreak of fire, limiting its spread,
facilitating effective evacuation, and enabling efficient firefighting efforts

4. Objective
 To minimize the risk of fire-related incidents in buildings and facilities,
 To ensuring the safety of occupants through the integration of engineering principles and
technologies
 To give recommendations for adequate and accessible means of escape for building
occupants
The potential for residential fire disasters is of great concern in building design and a significant
factor in architectural design of buildings in terms of types and uses of the building. Providing
suitable methods for protection of building components during fires has always been a
challenging topic for engineers. Therefore, fire safety systems can play a key role in prevention
control or relief of fire before serious damage is incurred to the main components of a building. it
is inevitable that building with larger number of stories will be needed, but that will also lead to
higher risk of fire hazard. The potential for fire incidents in multi-story apartment buildings
remains a serious concern for local governments, municipalities, and building owners. (Arshad

By every change of use, change of occupancy or change of storey height, fire protection
requirement needs to be evaluated

With every change of use, change of occupancy, or

change of story height, fire protection requirements need to be evaluat

Buildings are usually designed and constructed based on building codes’ fire
safety provisions. Such provisions generally provide some standards and the
commentaries offer guidelines and concepts for fire alarm and safety such as
smoke detector, fire alarm installations, sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers

more advanced and modern structural and nonstructural systems per building
code requirements and industry products, the building contents may not neces-
