Unit I
INHERENT SAFETY CONCEPTS Compartment fire-factors controlling fire severity, ventilation controlled and fuel controlled fires; Spread of fire in rooms, within building and between buildings. Effect of temperature on the properties of structural materials- concrete, steel, masonry and wood; Behavior of non-structural materials on fire- plastics, glass, textile fibres and other house hold materials.
Unit II
PLANT LOCATIONS Compartment temperature-time response at pre-flashover and post flashover periods; Equivalence of fire severity of compartment fire and furnace fire; Fire resistance test on structural elements-standard heating condition, Indian standard test method, performance criteria.
Unit III

Unit IV
FIRE SEVERITY AND REPAIR TECHNIQUES Fabricated fire proof boards-calcium silicate, Gypsum, Vermiculite, and Perlite boards; Fire protection of structural elements – Wooden, Steel and RCC.. Reparability of fire damaged structures- Assessment of damage to concrete, steel, masonry and timber structures, Repair techniques- repair methods to reinforced concrete Columns, beams and slabs, Repair to steel structural members, Repair to masonry structures.
Unit V
WORKING AT HEIGHTS Safe Access – Requirement for Safe Work Platforms- Stairways – Gangways and Ramps-Fall Prevention & Fall Protection – Safety Belts – Safety nets – Fall Arrestors- Working on Fragile Roofs – Work Permit Systems-Accident Case Studies.
Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course the student will be able to
- Understand the effect of fire on materials used for construction
- Understand the method of test for non-combustibility and fire resistance; and will be able to select different structural elements and their dimensions for a particular fire resistance rating of a building.
- To understand the design concept of fire walls, fire screens, local barriers and fire doors and able to select them appropriately to prevent fire spread.
- To decide the method of fire protection to RCC, steel, and wooden structural elements and their repair methods if damaged due to fire.
- Describe the safety techniques and improve the analytical and intelligence to take the right decision at right time.
