Defining a maximum heat release rate probability distribution function for design fires in sprinkler‐protected residential buildings

Charlie Hopkin

Abstract: In fire safety engineering analysis of sprinkler‐protected residential buildings, the maximum heat release rate is a key parameter requiring consideration. Several documents provide advice for estimating the heat release rate of a sprinkler‐controlled fire, with a prevailing suggestion that it is fixed upon activation of the first sprinkler. When carrying out deterministic analysis, this requires the engineer to assume fixed fire parameters and consider that sprinklers limit fire growth. To explore these assum… Show more
