Development of an Integrated Platform for Performance-Based Safety Assessment

在澳大利亚所有类型的意外火灾中，建筑火灾是造成重大伤亡的原因。随着数值模拟技术的显著进步，计算机模型正在成为消防安全设计的可接受工具。尽管如此，这些方法仍然存在大量人工输入和计算时间长的问题。这项研究项目将解决其中许多计算机模型中普遍存在的不足，并开发一种新颖和创新的设计方法。该项目的成功将使业界的计算工具发生革命性的变化，实现一个方便、健壮和节省时间的综合平台，以满足未来日益增长的市场需求。

Building fires are the cause of major fatalities and injuries amongst all types of accidental fires in Australia. With significant advancement in numerical simulation technique, computer models are becoming acceptable tools for fire safety designs. Nonetheless, these methods still suffer from large amount of manual inputs and lengthy computational times. This research project will address the prevalent deficiency in many of these computer models and develop a novel and innovative design methodology. The success of this project will revolutionize the computational tools for the industry realizing a convenient, robust and time-saving integrated platform catering for increasing future market demand.
