Abstract It is a common practice that most underground basements of buildings are utilized/developed for commercial purposes/stores in Taiwan. Many basement fires occurred and caused tremendous losses of human lives and properties in the past twenty years. Therefore protecting against basement fires in commercial buildings is of important concern in Taiwan. Smoke gases from a basement building fire might spread through corridors and ventilation systems to the entire building. This study utilizes Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) software to develop a computer simulation model for investigating a typical basement barbershop fire that occurred in 1993. The fire accident eventually/ unfortunately caused a… More >
