Abstract

Fire risk remains the main challenge, posing a significant threat to the safety protection of people in multiunit residential buildings. Therefore, this study developed a model using artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms for fire protection and intervention strategies. The proposed model was demonstrated through a case study in British Columbia, Canada. The results found that fire protection and intervention strategies can be described ...
