This project will investigate the feasibility of developing a                   mathematical model which will predict the fire safety of old buildings.         The novel aspect of the project is the modelling of the building                materials and the first safety of the structural system.  A standard            procedure of this type will be very beneficial to ownders of old                buildings who are contemplating on upgrading of the building, a change          of occupancy, and/or a general rehabilitation.  Current methods to              evaluate fire safety are arbitrary in nature and not cost-effective.
