Introducing the Book "Theoretical Foundations of Fire Risk Assessment Using the FRAME Method"

Risk assessment and management means identifying hazard factors, consequences, severity, and the probability of a consequence occurring, which must be prioritized among several different hazards for appropriate control. Since fire has been and is one of the challenging safety issues, decision-making based on fire risk requires not only the technically challenging steps of estimating fire hazard, but also the identification of an acceptable level of risk, which is more of a philosophical task than a technical one. In addition to harming people's lives, fire can also affect the equipment present at the location and even the building; therefore, fire-risk management must be carried out with a specific and codified method for identifying the factors harmful to people, equipment, and the building, in order to balance the advantages and disadvantages of accepting the risk and to examine how to manage it. Therefore, in this book we will explain in detail the FRAME (Fire Risk Assessment Method for Engineering), which, based on the nature of fire, examines the three factors of people, equipment, and the building. This method was developed as a tool to help fire-protection engineers define a suitable and cost-effective fire-safety concept for new or existing buildings, as a result of a 30-year search starting in 1975. Unlike building codes, which are mainly designed to ensure safe escape or rescue routes for occupants, this method also targets the protection of the building, the equipment, and the activities within it. This method can also easily be used to assess fire risk in existing situations and to find out whether alternative designs have comparable performance. This book has been written in 5 chapters: fundamentals of fire-risk assessment, fire-risk indexing, the fire-risk assessment method for engineering, the differences between the FRAME fire-risk assessment method and other standards, and the definitions and basic equations of the FRAME method. You can also obtain the present book in two versions, full color and single-color black.     https://irannashr.com/main/product/%d9%85%d8%a8%d8%a7%d9%86%db%8c-%d9%86%d8%b8%d8%b1%db%8c-%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%b2%db%8c%d8%a7%d8%a8%db%8c-%d8%b1%db%8c%d8%b3%da%a9-%d8%ad%d8%b1%db%8c%d9%82-%d8%a8%d9%87-%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b4-frame/
