Objectives To document typical configuration of low-rise residential buildings

Methodology

A survey on possible houses categorize residential building in Metro Manila w

Further, another survey will also be do different houses about the components that are possible contribution to fir 2 To identify and categorize the components and contents of a LRR building based on their combustibility and level of hazard.

The fuel properties of each components will be assessed.

3 To establish possible scenarios for use In subsequent fire spread simulation.

Based on the common fuel loads that w during the survey, an analysis on wh considered parameters to be varied w

Different set-up models will be m

Methodology

Expected Output A list of locations that will be further surveyed for the contents of the building. List of materials for different components and contents will be made including their typical locations.

on possible houses categorized as low-rise tial building in Metro Manila will be done.

Supporting Lite Cheng, H and Hadjisophocleous,

another survey will also be done inside the houses about the components and contents are possible contribution to fire spread.

Gross, D 1985, Data Sources for A table summarizing the different components and contents along with the different combustibility rate and other properties will be constructed.

properties of each components and contents will be assessed.

n the common fuel loads that will be found g the survey, an analysis on what will be ered parameters to be varied will be done.

ifferent set-up models will be made.

Parameters that have considerably variations that could Tabaddor, M and Rao, M 2013, F made significant effects on the anamysis of fire effects Kolaitis, D, Asimakopoulou, E & F will be listed. Collier, PCR 1996, Fire in a Resid Different models will be set-up according to the parameters determined from the previous analysis.
