This report describes the problems with fire safety in high rise buildings. A quantitative risk analysis has been carried out for a 24 stories high building. The level of risk is presented by F/N curves.

A model, BrandFeldt-model, is developed to decide if a component's damage criterion will be met as a consequence of fire. The component is placed in an adjoining room to the fire room, the only opening between the two rooms is a door (opened or closed).

This report contains a quantitative as well as a qualitative risk analysis of smoke control system in accommodation areas aboard large passenger ships.
