Описание:
Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures provides practising fire safety engineers with the tools to design structures to withstand fires. This text details standard industry design decisions, and offers expert design advice, with relevant historical data.
It includes extensive data on materials' behaviour and modeling -- concrete, steel, composite steel-concrete, timber, masonry, and aluminium. While weighted to the fire sections of the Eurocodes, this book also includes historical data to allow older structures to be assessed. It extensively covers fire damage investigation, and includes as far back as possible, the background to code methods to enable the engineer to better understand why certain procedures are adopted.
What's new in the Third Edition?
An overview in the first chapter explains the types of design decisions required for optimum fire performance of a structure, and demonstrates the effect of temperature rise on structural performance of structural elements. It extends the sections on less common engineering materials. The section on computer modelling now includes material on coupled heat and mass transfer, enabling a better understanding of the phenomenon of spalling in concrete. It includes a series of worked examples, and provides an extensive reference section.
Readers require a working knowledge of structural mechanics and methods of structural design at ambient conditions, and are helped by some understanding of thermodynamics of heat transfer. This book serves as a resource for engineers working in the field of fire safety, consultants who regularly carry out full fire safety design for structure, and researchers seeking background information.
Dr John Purkiss is a chartered civil and structural engineer/consultant and former lecturer in structural engineering at Aston University, UK.
Dr Long-Yuan Li is Professor of Structural Engineering at Plymouth University, UK, and a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers.

It also provides an understanding of the performance-based design process, deterministic and risk-based analysis techniques, development of design fire scenarios, trial design development and analysis, and building lifecycle management.
Develop a Strategy That Meets the Fire Safety Goals for a Building
Topics addressed include designing to protect people from fire, design of detection systems, smoke control systems and structural fire resistance, addressing computational and design uncertainty, and fire testing to support design development or evaluation.
Identifies key attributes of performance-based design
Reviews the advantages and disadvantages of performance-based design over specification-based prescriptive design
Provides a series of steps offering a framework/process for performance-based design
Performance-Based Fire Safety Design focuses on the development and application of performance-based fire safety design approaches. Written by leading experts in the field, this text addresses the unique features and uses of a building and helps you gain a better understanding of how a building will perform in the event of a fire.

Описание: To understand the catastrophic processes of forest fire danger, different deterministic, probabilistic, and empiric models must be used. Simulating various surface and crown forest fires using predictive information technology could lead to the improvement of existing systems and the examination of the ecological and economic effects of forest fires in other countries. Predicting, Monitoring, and Assessing Forest Fire Dangers and Risks provides innovative insights into forestry management and fire statistics. The content within this publication examines climate change, thermal radiation, and remote sensing. It is designed for fire investigators, forestry technicians, emergency managers, fire and rescue specialists, professionals, researchers, meteorologists, computer engineers, academicians, and students invested in topics centered around providing conjugate information on forest fire danger and risk.

Описание: This Guide provides information on special topics that affect the fire safety performance of very tall buildings, their occupants and first responders during a fire. This Guide addresses these topics as part of the overall building design process using performance-based fire protection engineering concepts as described in the SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance Based Fire Protection. This Guide is not intended to be a recommended practice or a document that is suitable for adoption as a code. The Guide pertains to “super tall,” “very tall” and “tall” buildings. Throughout this Guide, all such buildings are called “very tall buildings.” These buildings are characterized by heights that impose fire protection challenges; they require special attention beyond the protection features typically provided by traditional fire protection methods. This Guide does not establish a definition of buildings that fall within the scope of this document.

Описание: The financial, emotional, and ecological impacts of bushfires can be devastating, as seen during the 20192020 Black Summer East Australian bushfires. This report was prepared by participants of the Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program 2021 (SHSSP21) to address the question, How can space assets and technologies be applied to better predict and mitigate bushfires and their impacts? The task was addressed under three pillars, namely bushfire prediction (Predict), mitigation of bushfire effects (Mitigate), and communication needs relating to bushfire response (Communicate). Working initially in these three groups, the report was developed by combining the diverse expertise and experience of participants with the interdisciplinary knowledge gained from seminars, distinguished lectures, and workshops, and a literature review. With reference to the 20192020 Australian fire season, each group conducted a current state analysis and identified key challenges. Comparing this to the future desired state, we identified gaps in each of the three domains, and then worked across teams to reach consensus on a combined list of recommendations. Several recommendations were derived independently by two or more of the three groups, highlighting the importance of a holistic and collaborative approach. In summary, three geophysical components determine fire behaviorfuel, topography and weather. Earth observation data for each of these are essential for accurate bushfire prediction. As most fires start by lightning strikes, prediction of lightning using satellite infrared imagery to determine cloud top temperatures could assist bushfire prediction. Huge volumes of satellite data must be combined with weather and climate prediction models to improve forecast lead times, however, a major limitation is the storage capacity and computational power required, which could be addressed by using cloud-based technology infrastructure. Adequate communication of relevant information to authorities and communities is vital. Firefighter safety could be improved by use of protective clothing modelled on astronaut space suits, and by reinforcing fire trucks with thermal protective materials as used on spacecraft. An interoperable national communications infrastructure is needed to enable rapid sharing of information and resources, with emergency responders and citizens, across jurisdictions. While our case study was based on the Australian context, the lessons and recommendations could be applied internationally. International Journal of Space Studies is a joint venture between ATF Press Publishing Group, the International Space University and the University of South Australia. The aim of the Journal is to bring together research undertaken by students in the programs coordinated by ISU. Each edition has its own theme and editorial team who work under the supervision of the overall editors from both educational institutions with an International Reference group.
