- An industrial building contains 3000 kg of combustible materials, in dry state, distributed over three rooms of area 100 m2, 500 m2 and 300 m2 each, in a proportion of 30%, 50% and 20% of the contents, respectively. Calorific value of the material is 4400 kCal/kg. The Total fire load of the rooms is equal to _______ kCal/m2.

Fire Load = (Weight × Calorific Value) Area Fire Load in Room 1 = (300 × 0.3 × 4400) = 39600 kCal / sq m 100 Fire Load in Room 2 = (300 × 0.5 × 4400) = 13200 kCal / sq m 500 Fire Load in Room 3 = (300 × 0.2 × 4400) = 8800 kCal / sq m 300
Total Fire load = 39600 + 13200 + 8800 = 61600 kCal/sq mCorrect Option: D
