Abstract


From the point of view of fire protection the high rise buildings have a special consideration, according to their design activities carried on, and fire protection system installed in them. In high rise buildings, difficulty of access by Extinction Services should be taken into account, as well as the impossibility of proceeding to make total evacuation. Consequently, it is necessary to design the building with exteriorization criteria, both vertical and horizontal and of protection of the structural elements, which make it possible to suffocate the fire and the partial evacuation of the occupants to independent neighboring sector.
