Numerical Modeling of Architectural Effects of Common Spaces in Fire and Smoke in Public Buildings

After discovery of fire and its dramatic changes in human life, fire as a great danger always threatened the lives and property of people. In this research, numerical simulations of fires using FDS software in a library are performed and by making changes in the architecture of the building in a way that can affect the architectural beauty and efficiency of the building and in addition reduce the speed of fire expansion. Help to increase the safety of the library, and also to protect the valuable part of the book repository. For this purpose, first, the effect of entrance doors on the spread of fire was investigated and by using automatic doors, a significant effect was achieved in controlling the air flow of incoming into the library. In addition, by creating a correction section, an attempt has been made to protect the valuable section against the intrusion of fire, and as a result of these changes, after one minute, the temperature in the bookcase has decreased by 16% compared to the pre-correction condition.
