- Abstract
- A Research Project "Development of Design System for Building Fire Safety" was initiated in Japan from April, 1982 as a five-year project sponsored by Ministry of Construction's Promotion of Cooperative Research and Total Development Project. The purpose of this project is to develop a rational and total design system for building fire safety by systematizing the knowledges gotten so far in the field of fire research. By the accomplishment of this project, such problems as the restriction of flexibility of building design by fire regulations,the unclearness of the effects and interactions of various fire countermeasures are solved and the fire countermeasures are expected to come to be provided logically and economically from the view point of total fire safety performance of a building.
