Estudo e análise da carga de incêndio da biblioteca do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Bahia (IFBA) - campus de Vitória da Conquista

Abstract

The discovery of fire brought many advantages to human beings, however, when it is out of control, it has a devastating capacity, with material and even human losses. Thus, the main point of fire safety is the guarantee of life, that is, the reduction of the risk to life. One of the places most prone to the spread of fire is where there is more fuel. Therefore, a library is a risk zone due to the presence of books, where paper is a highly volatile fuel. Therefore, it is an environment conducive to the rapid spread of fire and danger to the public present. Therefore, this work covers a case study, referring to the fire load of the library of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Bahia (IFBA), Campus Vitória da Conquista, taking into account the load established by Technical Instruction No. 14 /2017 of the Bahia Military Fire Department. It is noted, however, that the fire load meets the needs of the Campus library, and therefore, the design of the fire fighting system tends to be satisfactory with data from the responsible body in Bahia.
