5. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Dispersion 1. Optimum placement of gas inlets on a building rooftop for the measurement of greenhouse gas concentrations
Series: Special Publication (NIST SP)
Report Number: 1158
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 4/22/2013
Authors: Kuldeep R Prasad, Anthony Bova, James R Whetstone, Elena Novakovskaia
Abstract: Inverse atmospheric dispersion models are used to provide measurement-based, or “topdown”, estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for comparison with input-based, or “bottom-up”, estimates. To minimize uncertainty, inverse estimates require ac ...

6. Estimating Uncertainties in Antenna Measurements
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 4/8/2013
Author: Michael H Francis
Abstract: We describe general methods of estimating uncertainties in antenna measurements. These include estimates based on theory (analysis1), simulation, and altering the measurement system (self-coparison tests). The important component sources of uncertain ...

8. Simulating the Behavior of Restrained Steel Beams to Flame Impingement From Localized Fires
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 4/1/2013
Authors: Chao Zhang, Guo-Qiang Li, Usmani Asif
Abstract: Steel structures may be exposed to localized heating by ignition of the fire source nearby. Flame impingement from localized fire may lead to high temperatures in the exposed steel members, which may lead to structural collapse. This paper numerica ...
