971. Propagation and Detection of Radio Signals Before, During and After the Implosion of a Large Sports Stadium (Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia)
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1541
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 10/1/2005
Authors: Christopher L Holloway, Galen H Koepke, Dennis G Camell, Catherine A Remley, Dylan F Williams, Susan Schima, Seturnino Canales
Abstract: In this report, we investigate radio communications problems faced by emergency responders (firefighters and police) in disaster situation such as collapsed buildings. A fundamental challenge to communications into and out of large buildings is the s ...

972. Proximity effects in the calibration of microwave radiometers
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 10/1/2005
Authors: Ronald Curtis Wittmann, Amanda Cox, Randy Direen
Abstract: Microwave, total-power radiometers are calibrated by observing sources of known brightness temperature. Free-space calibrations are usually performed assuming far-field interactions, although the actual calibration source may be well into the near-fi ...

973. The Application of MatML to Contaminant Emissions Data
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 10/1/2005
Authors: E F. Begley, Cynthia H. Reed
Abstract: Standard data formats are generally employed because they save time and money by promoting interoperability, i.e., facilitating data exchange and preserving information for re-use, and are available for a wide variety of business, scientific, and tec ...

974. Airtightness of Commercial Buildings in the United States
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/21/2005
Authors: Steven J Emmerich, Andrew Keith Persily
Abstract: In 1998, Persily published a review of commercial and institutional building airtightness data that found significant levels of air leakage and debunked the myth of the airtight commercial building. This paper updates the earlier analysis for the U ...

975. HEB FPA Imaging Technology for Security and Biomedical Applications
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/19/2005
Authors: Eyal Gerecht, Dazhen Gu, Sigfrid Yngvesson, Fernando Rodriguez-Morales, Ric Zannoni, John Nicholson
Abstract: We have demonstrated a low-noise heterodyne three-element focal plane array (FPA) at 1.6 THz consisting of NbN Hot Electron Bolometric (HEB) detectors, intimately integrated with MMIC IF amplifiers in a single block. HEB technology is becoming the ba ...

977. Energy Balance in a Large Compartment Fire. (POSTER ABSTRACTS)
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/18/2005
Authors: Anthony P Hamins, Erik L Johnsson, Michelle K Donnelly
Abstract: The experiments described here were part of an international collaborative project to assess and validate fire computer codes for nuclear power plant applications. Understanding the distribution of energy released by a fire is important for testing t ...

978. Experiments and Modeling of Unprotected Structural Steel Elements Exposed to a Fire
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/18/2005
Authors: Anthony P Hamins, Kevin B McGrattan, Kuldeep R Prasad, Alexander Maranghides, Therese P McAllister
Abstract: A large-scale fire experiment was conducted to assess the accuracy of a combination of gas and solid-phase models designed to predict the temperatures of structural steel elements exposed to a fire. The experiment involved a 2 MW heptane spray fire i ...
