Investigation of the fire-preventing eaves effectiveness to prevent the fire spreading by vertical building structures of high-rise buildings

Abstract

The fire spreading on the high-rise buildings facades is one of the most dangerous types of fire development, due to its rapid flame spreading, complexity of extinguishment, sufficient oxygen, as well as additional wind effects that encourage its rapid spread on facade structures. The purpose of this article is based on FDS modeling, to identify the influence of structural parameters of facade fire-preventing eaves, the effectiveness of fire prevention by vertical building structures in high-rise buildings.
