Analysis and Discussion on difficult problems in building smoke control design


Local construction markets are very popular, especially in economically active central cities.

If there is no external window on the top floor of the staircase or the area of the external window is too small, although part of the smoke will be discharged from the external window along the way, because the rising speed of the smoke can reach more than 4m / s, a large amount of smoke will still quickly gather in the smoke proof staircase on the top floor and above, which will seriously affect the escape and evacuation of personnel.

In other words: no matter whether the height of the atrium exceeds 12M, the natural smoke exhaust requirements can be met as long as the area of the openable skylight or high side window is not less than 5% of the floor area of the atrium.

For this provision, I think it should be understood as follows: the natural smoke exhaust height in case of fire should not be lower than the breathing area of the human body, otherwise it will affect the evacuation speed of personnel Degrees, delayed escape time.

Wang Shicui of the Architectural Design Institute of Tsinghua University (the main writer of low standard) gave good answers to many problems reflected in the design process, and also learned about some new developments in the industry and low standard Many contents of the new revised version have yielded a lot.

Cast In Loop

The smoke exhaust outlet can be higher than the breathing area of the human body above this height, which is conducive to escape in case of fire.

Although the code for fire protection design of buildings (hereinafter referred to as the “low code”) and the code for fire protection of high-rise civil buildings have been revised and adjusted for several times, they still can not fully meet the needs of the rapidly changing building market, and the difficult problems encountered by the majority of designers seem to be increasing.

In particular, it has one or more large capped spaces that continuously penetrate several floors in the vertical direction.

However, due to the influence of thermal pressure, tightness and other factors on natural smoke exhaust, mechanical smoke exhaust facilities should be adopted even if natural smoke exhaust conditions are available.

Therefore, it does not seem difficult to meet the requirements of natural smoke exhaust.

With many questions, I was lucky to participate in the two-day “training course on difficult problems of building smoke control design” held in Shanghai on April 9, 2009, During this period, Mr.

For a long time, it has been convenient to use the manual or automatic opening of the smoke exhaust window in case of fire to meet the fire protection requirements Czech Republic, an economic solution.

Therefore, the specification stipulates that for high-rise buildings, mechanical smoke exhaust shall be adopted for atrium more than 12M, and the smoke exhaust fan shall be set at the top of the atrium.

when the window opening angle is greater than 70 degrees, the smoke exhaust area FP can be calculated according to the window area FC; B.

For multi-storey buildings, the low regulation does not take the atrium height as a sufficient condition for mechanical smoke exhaust.

Analysis of difficult problems in building smoke control design 1.1 atrium smoke exhaust problem the so-called atrium refers to a large volume space with three or more floors and a short side of no less than 6m.

It is found that in case of fire, even if there is no obvious fire smoke spread in the atrium, a large amount of high-temperature toxic gas will spread rapidly, fill the whole space and spread to the whole building.

Here, I would like to share with you.

1.3 setting of natural smoke exhaust outlet and automatic smoke exhaust window (1) The specification stipulates that the natural smoke exhaust outlet shall be set on the top of the smoke exhaust area or on the outer wall.

The atrium used in architectural design not only increases the charm of architectural space, but also increases the risk of fire.

This should attract the attention of designers.

When it is set on the outer wall, the bottom elevation of the natural smoke exhaust outlet shall not be less than 1 / 2 of the indoor net height, and there shall be devices for easy opening.

It should be added that according to the example of atrium fire, China’s current economic situation and management level, and in combination with the characteristics of natural smoke exhaust, the height of mechanical smoke exhaust in atrium is not limited to 12m in the low regulations.

1.2 natural smoke exhaust in smoke proof staircase for many years, designers, especially architects, have known that there is such a provision: except for class I public buildings with a building height of more than 50m and residential buildings with a building height of more than 100m, the smoke proof staircase close to the outer wall can meet the requirements of natural smoke exhaust as long as the total area of external windows that can be opened in every five floors is not less than 2.0m2, Pressurized air supply shaft does not have to be considered.

Compared with ordinary buildings, the atrium building has the characteristics of large fire load, dense personnel and complex internal functions.

Generally speaking, most shopping malls with high floors need to be equipped with natural smoke vents for smoke exhaust, In public buildings such as theatres (residential buildings generally have a large area of openable external windows), the space under the ceiling will generally be more than 3.5m, and 1 / 2 of the net height will not be less than 1.7m.

Although sin900 = 1, the theoretical opening angle is 900, and the smoke exhaust area of the smoke exhaust window is the largest..

However, few people can make clear the relationship between the opening angle of smoke exhaust window and smoke exhaust area.

Therefore, for smoke control staircases with natural smoke exhaust, the top floor must have openable external windows, and the window area should also meet the specification requirements, which is also a problem that designers should not ignore.

In fact, this phenomenon is not surprising because “Norms always lag behind reality”.

The purpose of this limitation is: in case of fire, due to the influence of chimney effect, the smoke in the smoke proof staircase without mechanical pressurized air supply rises rapidly along the staircase.

1.

As we all know, engineering practice is an applied science.

The architectural forms are becoming more and more complex, the building scale is becoming larger and larger, and the number of building floors is becoming more and more.

It can be seen that the success of atrium smoke exhaust in fire is very important.

The rapid development of the construction industry has put forward more and more practical problems, many of which are not mentioned in the current specifications, and many questions have not been well solved in the work.

(2) The smoke exhaust area of the automatic smoke exhaust window set on the outer wall shall be determined according to the following requirements: A.

when the window opening angle is less than 70 degrees, the smoke exhaust area is approximately calculated according to FP = fc.sina.

In fact, there is another limiting condition: the area of openable outer window on the top floor should not be less than 0.8m2.

This provision clearly tells us a logical relationship: the smoke exhaust area of the smoke exhaust window is directly proportional to the sinusoidal value of its opening angle.
