Structural Collapse Fire Tests: Single Story, Wood Frame Structures

March 1, 2004
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Nelson P. Bryner, James J. Lee, Jay A. McElroy, G Roadarmel, W H. Twilley
A series of fire tests were conducted in Phoenix, Arizona to develop data for evaluation of a methodology for predicting structural collapse. The fire test scenario was selected as part of a training video being prepared by the Phoenix, Arizona Fire

XML Schema Development Guidelines. Version 1.0

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
Mark E. Palmer, M Burns, T L. Teague
These guidelines summarize the background, rationale and guiding principles that the FIATECH program is using to produce XML domain schemas for automating information exchanges in the capital facilities industries and over the life cycle of equipment used

The NIST 3 Megawatt Quantitative Heat Release Rate Facility

January 12, 2004
Author(s)
Rodney A. Bryant, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Erik L. Johnsson, Anthony P. Hamins, B S. Grove, William F. Guthrie, Alexander Maranghides
The 3 Megawatt Heat Release Rate Facility was developed at NIST as a first step toward having broad capabilities for making quantitative large scale fire measurements. Such capabilities will be used at NIST to validate fire models and to develop sub-grid

Mobile 3D Visualization for Steel Structures

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Robert R. Lipman
Until recently, visualization of 3D models required computational resources available only on desktop computers in office environments. With the advance of technology, it is now possible to visualize substantial 3D models on mobile handheld computers in

Predicting re suppression in a simulated engine nacelle

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
J C. Hewson, David R. Keyser
The Vulcan re-eld model is employed to simulate the evolution of pool res and the distribution of re suppressants in a engine nacelle simulator. The objective is to identify conditions for which suppression will and will not be successful in order to (1)

Supression Characteristics of Cup-Burner Flames in Low Gravity

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
F Takahashi, Gregory T. Linteris, V Katta
The structure and suppression of laminar methane air co-flow diffusion flames formed on a cup burner have been studied experimentally and numerically using physically acting fire-extinguishing agents (CO2, N2, He, and Ar) in normal earth (1g) and zero

TIN Techniques for Data Analysis and Surface Construction

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Christoph J. Witzgall, Javier Bernal, Geraldine Cheok
This report addresses the task of meshing point clouds by triangulated elevated surfaces referred to as TIN surfaces. It describes the general features of this approach, and refers to prototype TIN software employed at NIST for research into the analysis

Virtual Testing of Ready-Mixed Concrete

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard
The development of a virtual testing system is no small task. It requires fundamental scientific research into the physics, chemistry, and materials science of concrete. The Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory consortium has identified three

A Suite of Homes Representing the U.S. Housing Stock

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Dennis D. Leber
In order to facilitate nationwide analysis of ventilation and indoor air quality issues in residential buildings, a set of homes has been defined to represent the housing stock of the United States. This so-called suite of homes is based on two residential

BUILDING AND FIRE RESEARCH AT NBS/NIST 1975-2000

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Richard N. Wright
In the last quarter of the 20th Century, building and fire research programs at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, provided one of the most significant sources of technology, measurements and
