The document outlines design principles for fire safety in three areas: architectural, structural, and electrical. Architectural principles include allowing enough space for emergency vehicles and evacuation, using fire-resistant materials, and minimizing combustibles. Structural principles involve protecting steel components from heat up to 120 minutes at a limiting temperature and ensuring no cracks or insufficient steel covering. Electrical principles consist of safely enclosing and sealing wiring, installing a master control switch per floor, using quality electrical equipment earthed and fused appropriately, and including fire detection systems with individual power rooms and maintenance of the electrical system.

5. Design Principles for Fire Safety:
• Architectural Design Principles
• Structural Design principles
• Electrical Design principles

6. Architectural Principles:
• external open space.
• internal open space
• Enough space for fire fighting vehicles.
• Enough Doors, windows for proper ventilation.
• Rapid Exit Gates.
• Safe and easy access to exit gates.
• Sufficient Rooms height and area .
• Good Quality fire retardant materials.
• Minimum flammable or combustible material usage.

7. Structural Design Principles:
• protect all steel members to 120 minutes standard for a limiting temperature of X°C such as
using coated steel bars
• No cracks.
• Enough steel cover
• Extra steel bars for fire safety purpose
Failure at x°C

8. Electrical Design Principles:
• Electrical wiring should enclosed in heavy gauge metal conduits.
• Cable while passing to another floor should be sealed off effectively.
• Master control switch for each floor.
• Good quality cable, switches and al electrical appliances.
• All equipment should be earthed properly.
• Appropriate fire detection, smoke and heat detection should be designed
• Individual power room.
• Main switch
• Maintenance of Electrical system.
• Limited use of temporary Wiring.
