Su Wang · Journal of Safety Science and Technology · 2013
In order to investigate the fire risk of high-rise buildings,the assessment index system including evacuation system,fire-proof capacities of buildings,fire-fighting capacities,fire rescue facilities and safety management was established based on the characters of fire development in high-rise buildings.By analyzing the grey relational degrees between each comparative sequence and the reference sequences,the risk ratings of each factor and the whole system were obtained according to the grey incidence matrix.A case study of No.728 teachers' apartment in Jiaozhou Road Shanghai Jing-an District was conducted with this method,and the results accorded well with the facts.It proved that valuable fire risk assessment results and weak links can be obtained by this scientific grey relational method.They are of significant guidance to the design of fire protection and daily safety management for high-rise buildings.
