“…Proper guidance and command have the greatest impact on safety factors and prompt performance of forces and increases safety during accidents (Chou et al , 2019). In buildings with accident management systems, required information to exit can be obtained rapidly and precisely and people can be guided to the exits and, in turn, it decreases mortality and loss (Cheng et al , 2016). The direct reason for death is the unsafe actions and unsafe conditions of the materials.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to introduce and evaluate the effect of critical success factors (CSF) in rescue operations in burning buildings by calculating the partial least squares structural equation modeling of PLS-SEM. Design/methodology/approach To do this, success criteria (SC) and CSF in the literature, which are related to the topic, articles, standards and relevant books, will be identified and then evaluated through the extended PLS-SEM model. Findings The results show that technological factors, awareness, resources and safety play an effective role in successful performance management in fire accidents. Research limitations/implications Appropriate use of these factors will promote incident management and decrease casualties and financial loss in the event of accidents. Originality/value Fire-fighting is of great importance, especially in tall and complex buildings. In recent years, extended studies have been carried out regarding fire accident management in terms of CSFs in the category of rescue and firefighting. However, attention has not been paid to the relation and severity of impact between SC and CSF by researchers in addition to the identification of the most important criteria during rescue operations.

“…Generally, construction projects include a vast number of complicated tasks with a tight schedule and fire safety provisions [29]. To ensure the safety from fire in complex buildings, escape routes planning and fire extinguishers are just used to save oneself [15]. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied to assess the internal condition of the construction workplace during the fire situation [30].…”

Visual Language-Aided Construction Fire Safety Planning Approach in Building Information Modeling

et al. 2020

Fires pose an enormous threat to human safety and many spectacular fires in under-construction buildings were reported over the past few years. Many construction sites only rely on fire extinguishers, as under-construction buildings do not contain a permanent fire protection system. Traditional safety planning lacks a justified approach for the firefighting equipment installation planning in the construction job site. Even though many government agencies made safety regulations for firefighting equipment installations, it is still a challenge to translate and execute these rules at the job site. Currently, the construction industry is devoted to discovering all the possible applications of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in the entire phases of the project life cycle. BIM technology enables the presentation of facilities in 3-D and offers rule-based modeling through visual programming tools. Therefore, this paper focuses on a visual language approach for rule translation and a multi-agent-based construction fire safety planning simulation in BIM. The proposed approach includes three core modules, namely: (a) Rule Extraction and Logic Development (RELD) Module, (b) Design for Construction Fire Safety (DCFS) Module, and (c) Con-fire Safety Plan Simulation (CSPS) Module. In addition, the DCFS module further includes three submodules, named as (1) Firefighting Equipment Installation (FEI) Module, (2) Bill of Quantities (BoQs) for firefighting Equipment (BFE) Module, and (3) Escape Route Plan (ERP) Module. The RELD module converts the OSHA fire safety rule into mathematical logic, and the DCFS module presents the development of the Con-fire Safety Planning approach by translating the rules from mathematical logic into computer-readable language. The three sub-modules of the DCFS module visualize the outputs of this research work. The CSPS module uses a multi-agent simulation to verify the safety rule compliance of the portable firefighting equipment installation plan the system in a BIM environment. A sample project case study has been implemented to validate the proof of concept. It is anticipated that the proposed approach has the potential to helps the designers through its effectiveness and convenience while it could be helpful in the field for practical use.

“…The U.S. Fire Administration (2017) [2] reported that in the United States, between 2013 and 2015, around 20% and 17% of the fire fatalities in residential buildings were caused by egress problems and escape difficulties, respectively. Scholars have attributed fire evacuation fatalities to poor escape routes, obstacles, and exceeding the required time to escape [3][4][5]. Research on improving occupants' safety during fire evacuations has focused on: (i) the use of BIM in fire evacuation management; (ii) the development of early fire detection systems; and (iii) the use of Fire Dynamic Simulation (FDS) and Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) to optimize evacuation routes.…”

Building fires constitute a significant threat that affects property, the environment, and human health. The management of this risk requires an efficient fire evacuation system for buildings’ occupants. Therefore, a smart fire evacuation system that combines building information modeling (BIM) and smart technologies is proposed. The system provides the following capacities: (i) early fire detection; (ii) the evaluation of environmental data; (iii) the identification of the best evacuation path; and (iv) information for occupants about the best evacuation routes. The system was implemented in a research building at Lille University in France. The results show the system’s capacities and benefits, particularly for the identification of the best evacuation paths.
