Implementation of the 'Gustav Purt' method in fire risk assessment in military facilities

Abstract

Despite intense technological and technical progress in all segments of human activities, nowadays there are often unwanted events with severe consequences. Here, of course, we include fires as an unpredictable and often catastrophic phenomenon. In order to more easily assess fire risk and conduct fire risk analysis, various qualitative, semi-qualitative and quantitative methods are used, which makes it possible to determine or justify the installation of detection, warning and/or fire extinguishing systems. Semi-qualitative methods for fire risk assessment are scientifically based and they have been developed to simplify analysis, save time and reduce costs. In practice, inter alia, the 'Gustav Purt' method is used, which can be applied in the numerical analysis of fire risks of military facilities.
