The monsoon rainfall contributes about 30% of the total global rainfall. The Asian monsoon system (ASM) is one of the largest systems and is of great significance in the global climate system. It consists of two subsystems, namely Indian summer monsoon (ISM)/southwest (SW) monsoon/South Asia summer monsoon (SASM) and East Asia monsoon (EAM).Full Text

The present study focuses on assessment and probabilistic characterization of fire load, a key input to performance-based fire design, in office and dormitory buildings in India. A survey using combined inventory- weighing method was conducted and the results analysed with respect to several parameters such as room use, type of combustibles, etc. Probabilistic models based on the generalized extreme value and gamma probability density functions have been proposed for fire load energy density. It has been found that, on an average, the fire load present in modern buildings is about three times greater than what is reported by earlier studies and prescribed by building codes. Thus, the severity of potential fires that can occur in a compartment has increased considerably. Parametric fire curves have been developed and compared with standard fire curves to assess the increase in severity. The developed fire curves possess a greater growth rate and predict a greater temperature within the first one hour, when compared to the standard curves, showing that there is a greater fire risk.Keywords

Most modern buildings incorporate a façade system to conform to green building regulations. Several common facade systems utilize composite panels made of combustible materials and can significantly enhance the fire risk, as shown by many recent building fires. This study presents the development of a full-scale research facility at IIT Gandhinagar to better understand the behaviour of real fires involving façade systems. Such a facility will facilitate scientific studies pertaining to façade fires and help in improving fire safety of such buildings.Keywords
