| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 機械工程學系 === 100 === Busy works and excessive stress often caused people fill exhausted, so it is undoubtedly that people looking for mental and physical recreation on vacation times. There are many public places where people like to relax such as restaurant, theater, KTV and pub, these places concealed high potential fire danger but always ignored by the people. Taiwan is high population area, with narrow roads and buildings are adjacent to each other, so fire could easily spread and hinder fire rescues, leading to property loss and even serious human casualties. This thesis studies the case of the ALA Pub fire in Taichung City. Due to the ALA PUB its indoor flammable materials increased fire intensity, closed windows and locked escape door, increases the complexity of fire rescue. To prevent or reduce the possible occurrences of such fire disasters, it is necessary to look into the fire safety structure and design of those entertainment places.
The FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) software developed by NIST and the Evacuation Model of VTT (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland) is employed in this research to perform fire and evacuation simulations. The simulation is modeled with information from media publications, pictures of the fire scene as well as data provided by firefighters. The distribution and changes of temperature, carbon dioxide density and air layer heights were also considered. An analysis into how changes to the different parameters such as the position of the main fire source, increasing or decreasing heat release rate, could influence the evacuation during the fire. The simulation result might be useful for reference in the future design of fire-prevention engineering and evacuation in order to reduce personnel casualty rates and property damages.
