BIM as a Structural Safety Study Tool in Case of Fire - BIMSCIP

In this article, we will discuss how BIM modeling technology can be used to improve the safety of people and buildings in fire-fighting and panic. The objective of this research is to construct an automation methodology of the process of verification of fire compliance, which allows the development of a computation tool more agile and less prone to errors than the manual method currently in use in the Fire Department of the State of Minas Gerais (FDS-MG) in Brazil. The process of creating a plug-in for a BIM environment, a prototype of a computer system called BIMSCIP, will be described and aims to verify the conformity of projects with Fire Department standards. In this work, emphasis will be placed on a particular technical instruction: technical instruction number 06, which deals with the structural safety of buildings in cases of fire. At the current stage the prototype already reads the project and returns consistent results.
