February 26, 2017 civil engineering department collaborating with AJG Ingenieure GmbH | XING organized a seminar entitled fire safety for building according to European regulation. Presented by Dr. Dirk Jankowski Partner Manager of AJG Ingenieure GmbH | XING. Participant consisted from many scholars, civil engineers, and students from different countries and universities of the region. building consists of walls, floors, stairs, openings and different installations such as water, electricity and ventilation. All aspects of a building can be considered from a safety viewpoint when it comes to regulations on Fire Safety. For people to be able to evacuate safely there must be egress routes and stairs that are protected from smoke, the construction must stand long enough for the evacuation to complete and the Rescue Teams to contain the fire. Fire Barriers and Fire Walls are needed to contain the fire to a reasonable size and the materials in a building can affect the intensity of the fire and Fire Spread. Installations and shafts can cause Smoke and Fire Spread via openings and if they are constructed by flammable materials. All of these are can be described in a Building Regulation.
