Abstract

This paper intends to discuss studies made in computer simulation technology [CST]'s application in buildings' performance-based fire protection design. On the basis of definition of the safety objective and performance evaluation for fire protection purposes and in combination of particular project details, internationally accepted software like FDS (a fire simulation software) and Building EXODUS (a personal evacuation simulation software) have been herein selected to simulate fire smoke spread and personal evacuation. Besides, expectations are made as to our development in fire computer simulation technology.
