  • Opening Session: Fire Behaviour and Life Safety: A Holistic Approach

    A captivating introduction to the nature of fire, setting the stage for deeper technical discussions.

  • Session 1:

    A guided journey through the dynamics and development stages of fire, highlighting its behavior and progression

  • Session 2:
    • Part One: Focused on foundational concepts including structural fire resistance, compartmentation, reaction to fire, Eurocode fire principles, and fire curve analysis.
    • Part Two: Delved into operational aspects such as firefighting strategies, tactical ventilation in high-rise buildings, detection and warning systems, and a detailed breakdown of evacuation timelines—supported by real-life case studies.
  • Workshop
    • Presented a case study of a high-rise hotel with a ventilated façade similar to Grenfell Tower, outlining the challenges faced and the tailored solutions developed to meet client requirements.
  • Location
    • Faculty of Civil Engineering (room: Amphitheater (first floor). Address is: Blvd. Partizanski odredi no. 24)
