![]() ![]() In the performance based approach section, a design fire was selected and modeled, using FDS and PyroSim. long dead end corridor is located on the second level adjacent Room 239 and 260, which exceed these the 50-ft. Occupant loading on the third level is estimated to be 683 occupants, however, the calculated egress capacity of this floor, per the LSC, is 627 occupants. Rooms 304 and 306, also have a common path length of 67.5 ft., which exceeds the maximum common path limits allowed for assembly use. Rooms 304 and 306 on the third level are considered assembly use, since they are expected to have more than 50 occupants, but are only provided with a single exit instead of the required two. ![]() This report also includes a, performance based, tenability analysis for the central atrium and the building egress using computer-modeling software (FDS, PyroSim and Pathfinder) Comparison to current codes shows that there are some building features that do not meet current code, including an inadequate number of exit doors for assembly use areas, inadequate floor egress capacity, and excessive dead end and common path travel distance distances. The report focuses on discussion areas specific to the curriculum of the Cal Poly Fire Protection Master’s program, including analysis of egress, structural fire protection, detection, alarm and automatic protection designs in comparison to current and effective codes and standards. ![]() Baker Center for Science in partial fulfillment for the requirements of a Master’s of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. ![]() This report is a focused review and discussion of the life safety and fire protection design of Cal Poly Building 180: The Warren J. ![]()
