Fire and Civil Safety Engineering

Module aim

After completing this course, students will be able to analyze combustion and extinguishing processes and select the necessary extinguishing agents.

Module description

Combustion is a complex physical and chemical process that occurs during a fire. The combustion process is divided into stages. It is characterized by ignition, the structure of the combustion zone, the spread and ceasing of the combustion process. The course examines the fundamental laws of the combustion process, the occurrence of combustion, the ignition of combustible systems and the spontaneous ignition of materials, the combustion of materials in various states and methods of ceasing the combustion process. Students must attend at least 70 % of the scheduled practical sessions. Students are required to complete all scheduled laboratory work. Theoretical lectures are mandatory for first-cycle I-III year full-time students. More than half of the lectures must be attended during the semester.

Module aim

After completing this course, students will be familiar with the main theories of stress and the possibilities of their practical applications, they will be able to analyse and effectively manage stress in extreme situations.

Module description

Basics of firefighting. Tactical options of fire departments/divisions. Safety and health requirements in fire fighting and being on duty. Leader of fire fighting action, head of fire fighting area during the fire. Strategically headquarter of fire fighting. Tactical training for firefighters. Calculation methods of necessary human force and means for. fire-fighting. Fire-fighting in various conditions. Students must attend at least 80 % of the scheduled practical sessions.

Module aim

To provide knowledge about the spatial and constructional structure of various buildings and structural systems.

Module description

Spatial and constructional structure of buildings, classification, elements and their interaction. Low-rise and multi-story buildings: foundations, walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, roofs. Structural systems of frameworks, large spacious and high-rise buildings and their elements, structural solutions.
Students must attend at least 80% of theoretical lectures.

Module aim

To introduce basics of probability theory and mathematical statistics, to train a student to use obtained knowledge for solving of real world problems.

Module description

The basic probability theory concepts and theorems. The distribution functions of random variables and numerical characteristics. The problems of mathematical statistics. Empirical characteristics. The point and interval estimates of unknown parameters. Statistical hypothesis testing, elements of correlation theory, regression.

Students must attend at least 60% of the time scheduled practical works, 80% of the time scheduled laboratory works (full-time studies and part-time, distance learning studies) and 50% of the lectures (only full-time studies).

Module aim

The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with fire extinguishing and rescue equipment, self-protection measures of firefighters, to examine extinguishing materials and their use equipment from an engineering point of view. To familiarize with the main engineering aspects of fire engines, such as construction, main parameters, structure, parameters and features of use of fire engine extinguishing and rescue equipment.

Module description

Firefighters’ self-protection measures are examined. The physical, chemical and other causes of the dangers that arise when extinguishing fires and rescuing people, as well as the main functions of self-protection measures, are analyzed. The engineering of self-protection measures of firefighters is being studied: it is analyzed what knowledge of physics, chemistry and other natural sciences they work on. The purpose, structure and engineering of firefighting and rescue equipment are examined. The fundamentals of fire and rescue equipment transportation engineering are introduced.
Students must attend at least 60 percent of the practical works during the scheduled time.

Module aim

Students who have completed this course will know the legal regulation of the activities of the fire rescue forces in extinguishing fires, rescue work during chemical, traffic and other incidents, the organization of the management of an event, emergency or emergency situation, document management in the departments of the fire rescue system, and will know how to fill out the necessary documents.

Module description

Even the most advanced prevention cannot guarantee that an event, extreme event or emergency will not occur. Therefore, it is important to have a well-prepared fire rescue service equipped with appropriate technical means and regulated by legal means. The legal regulation of the training of fire rescue personnel and their activities in an event, an emergency or an emergency situation includes effective assistance to the public in the event of an emergency. Students must attend at least 60% of the time scheduled practical lectures. Theoretical lectures are mandatory for first-cycle I-III year full-time students. More than half of the lectures must be attended during the semester.

Module aim

To provide theoretical and practical knowledge about ensuring fire safety requirements when designing buildings of different purposes.

Module description

Fire safety requirements for buildings. Substance flammability. Fire reThe discipline analyzes legal acts regulating fire safety requirements for buildings of different purposes. They teach how to assess potential hazards when evacuating people and extinguishing fires in buildings. Knowledge is provided and skills are developed to practically design buildings, ensuring fire safety requirements in them. Students must participate in at least 70% of the exercises during the scheduled time. Theoretical lectures are mandatory for first-cycle I and II year full-time students. More than half of the lectures must be attended during the semester.

Module aim

Get the knowledge and skills necessary for concrete and masonry structures in normal and fire conditions in a calculation, construction and design.

Module description

It is the sum of theory and practice to understand the behaviour of building structures in fire. It covers the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for the assessment of reinforced concrete and masonry structures and their constituent materials at fire temperatures. It is therefore important to be able to make creative decisions on how to successfully assess the behaviour of structures under fire conditions.
Students are required to attend at least 60 percent of lectures and exercises according to the schedule.
Students are required to complete all scheduled laboratory work.
