TUTUM Easy-seismic: Development of a Seismic Design Automation Software for Building Fire Protection Systems

Abstract

In line with the "mandatory seismic design of fire protection facilities," development of design automation software is indispensable for improving the reliability and efficiency of seismic design. The seismic design automation software developed in this study is an automated S/W for seismic design of fire-fighting facilities, and functions such as automatic arrangement of anti-shake braces according to Korea National Fire Agency's Seismic Design Standards for fire-fighting facilities, output of seismic bracing calculation bills and automatic quantities counting. In addition, the seismic design automation software not only reduces the work speed by three times compared to the manual design of the designer, but also improves the reliability of the design by reducing the human error related to the design quantity such as the brace. In addition, in the seismic design method of fire protection facilities that have been approached conservatively, it was possible to perform the optimal seismic design by using computer algorithms for at least in the use of braces.

Study on designing a diesel firefighting pump system for residential building

“…Fire pumps are essential equipment for pumping water from local water supplies to the top areas of high-rise buildings and even to the nozzles of each room's fire suppression system. The design and installation of fire pumps must be carefully calculated to ensure fire protection standards; otherwise, the fire protection system may not operate properly, leading to loss of property or even life in case of fire [4,5].…”
