Projeto de sistemas de prevenção e combate a incêndio e pânico de uma edificação multifamiliar

Abstract

The discovery of fire has brought several benefits to man, however, when out of control, it has ample capacity for destruction, with human and material losses. Thus, the primary purpose of fire safety is to minimize the risk to life. This work discusses the importance of the fire and panic prevention and combat project, which should be guided by two basic premises: avoiding the onset of fire; and, if this occurs, provide appropriate means to confine it in its place of origin, allowing the building to be vacated quickly and effectively, and facilitating the combat. Thus, it approaches, at first, the study of fire, concepts, classes, development, methods of extinction and phases in case of accident. Next, it includes a case study for a multi-family residential building, with the description and dimensioning of the main systems and equipment for prevention and combat. The design methodology was executed based on the Technical Instructions of the Military Fire Department of Minas Gerais, considering that this is the agency responsible for the inspection and regulation of buildings in the State.
