Abstract

In this study, distributions of fire growth rate for rooms of various usages, including those with scarce data availability, have been estimated by using the Hierarchical Bayesian Estimation. And what levels the fire growth rate of the Verification method for evacuation safety has been by comparing with the estimated distributions of fire growth rate.
