Abstract

Taiwan has significantly varying terrains, and majority of its population centralize in the plain area, where most cities are located. Most buildings here are for both commercial and residential use, and they are expanding upward in order to make use of the space better. In such high-rise buildings, parking towers are designed to facilitate parking space for vehicles. This case uses a computer numerical simulation method to simulate the expansion of a fire inside a stereo parking tower in Taipei, Taiwan. It replicates the situation of how the fire starts and studies the effects of temperature, smoke, CO concentration, and the flow of heat generated in the fire field. The results of this study can not only provide a reference to relevant companies for fire prevention design and to select fire facilities for a common parking tower but also help to arise security awareness among people who enter the parking towers.
