Abstract :
This study presents a framework of stochastic analysis on probability of fire scenarios in risk assessment to occupant evacuation. Probable fire scenarios were constructed by event tree with consideration of fire protection systems and manual intervention. Uncertainty of probability values of fire protection systems and manual intervention were analyzed by coupling fire dynamics model and Monte Carlo simulation based on stochastic input data, such as lognormal fire growth rate. Then, probability of fire scenarios was analyzed as variables with time.
