Abstract

The Potala Palace was built in the7th century and it is famous for its great historic and cultural values. From the aspects of fire resource, equipment of fire fighting, evacuation of people and management of fire safety, the situation of fire hazard was investigated in detail. It is necessary to have an efficient approach to evaluate older buildings of significant historic values. Fire risk evaluation described in this paper is one kind of semi-quantitative methods. It uses a model of multiple attribute evaluation to produce a measure of relative fire risk. Weights are established to indicate the importance of fire risk parameters. Then, for each specific historic structure, parameter grades, i.e. ,the amount or degree that a parameter is present, are determined from information collected in the actual situation of the survey. Fire risk is evaluated by the scalar product of the parameter weights and grades, producing a single numerical value representing the level of fire safety provided in the building. Moreover, suggestions are given about fire prevention and protection.
