OPTIMIZATION OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
Abstract
The rapid growth of high-rise buildings with complex designs in Uzbekistan has intensified fire safety challenges, including vertical fire spread and evacuation complexities. This article explores the optimization of fire protection systems through integrating passive measures (structural resistance, compartmentation) and active systems (sprinklers, smoke management, standpipes, communication networks). It advocates adopting modern technologies such as AI detection, IoT sensors, and drone operations, aligned with international standards (NFPA, IBC). Recommendations emphasize maintenance, emergency planning, and training to enhance resilience and ensure life safety in Uzbekistan's urban development.
