Integración de métodos escalares y vectoriales en la evaluación del riesgo de incendio en el ciclo de vida de una construcción

Abstract

Fire is one the main risks in the construction sector. Consequences as material losses, stoppage and possible personal damages cause the fire risk assessment and knowledge of building behaviour in fire situation are essential to prevent and minimize the consequences. Currently there are sets of conventional scalar methods that quantify the risk level and provide different protection standards. At the same time, procedures for Modelling and Computer Simulation of Fire based on vector methods are under development, which provide multidimensional information about the fire. The aim of this work is to establish an integration model of design and assessment with scalar and vector technics for increase the knowledge about the fire risk (both development and evolution processes), supply full information on the development of fire in all lifecycle stage's installation. This model will support the task of Project Manager and Experts in prevention of occupational Risks.
