Passive Fire Protection

The fire in high-rise buildings is perhaps more dangerous than those occur in normal buildings because of the strong stack effect and wind effect on the fire. The wind effects on the wind flame spread across the exterior wall of the high rise building are studied in this paper by the numerical methods. The results show that high wind speed will change the wind flame spread direction and make the room inclined above the fire room more danger, especially the room at the same floor adjacent to the fire room. Special passive fire protection measures should be taken under these kinds of conditions.

Failure Factors

A poorly coordinated performance among stakeholders in the finishing phase can impair the performance of a high-rise building project. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze construction failure factors (CFFs) to stakeholder coordinating performance (SCP) in the finishing phase of high-rise building projects and to uncover their underlying relationships. CFFs to SCP in construction projects, especially in the finishing phase of high-rise building projects, have not yet been discovered. The study identified 30 CFFs to the SCP and ranked them according to the perspective of the stakeholders, including owners/consultants and contractors/subcontractors. Additionally, four factors of the CFFs, namely, traditional adversarial relationship, poor project planning and organization, incompetent parties, and delays of parties toward construction works were extracted by the factor analysis method. This study fills the gap in knowledge related to the coordination performance in construction projects. The findings could help stakeholders to enhance their coordinating performance in high-rise building projects.

Spray System

To find out practical design of high-rise building external wall fire protection, a preliminary study of water spray curtain was performed. The characteristic of the spray was analyzed through experiments. Basic characteristics such as exponential relationship between discharge rate and working pressure of the nozzle were obtained. The spread behavior of water film on the wall, such as spread width, was tested and analyzed. Feasible design and apply layout of the spray system on external wall was presented. The probable design was proved to be much more energy-saving than traditional sprinklers. In the end, a workable pattern of application was presented and further explained how the design worked and reduced construction energy.
