Neighborhood-Scale Fire Spread

November 16, 2003
Author(s)
Ronald G. Rehm, D. D. Evans, William E. Mell, Simo A. Hostikka, Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney, Charles E. Bouldin, Elisa S. Baker
This paper describes development of a physics-based mathematical and computational model to predict fire spread among structures and natural fuels (trees, shrubs and ground litter). This tool will be used to understand how fires spread in a community where

Feasibility on Using a Concrete Mixing Truck as a Rheometer

June 14, 2006
Author(s)
S Amziane, Chiara C. Ferraris, E Koehler
Fresh concrete properties are crucial for the performance of the concrete in its hardened state. The measurement of workability is usually done using a simple slump test. This test, although widely used for almost 100 years, does not provide a full picture

Analysis of Samples Removed from a Damaged Pipeline

April 15, 2001
Author(s)
Paul E. Stutzman
A set of specimens adhered to a pipe, provided by National Safety Transportation Board (NTSB), were examined for microstructure evaluation. The section of a 40.6 cm diameter gasoline pipeline from which the specimens were obtained showed signs of

Wind-driven Fire Spread to a Structure from Firewood Piles

March 30, 2023
Author(s)
Erik L. Johnsson, Kathryn Butler, Marco G. Fernandez, Shonali Nazare, Alexander Maranghides
A series of field experiments was conducted to examine the effects on fire spread toward a structure for firewood piles under conditions that may be encountered in a wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire. The fire behavior of a variety of firewood types in

Simulation of Residential CO Exposures from Portable Generators with and without CO Hazard Mitigation Systems Meeting Requirements of Voluntary

February 16, 2022
Author(s)
Steven Emmerich, Brian Polidoro, Matthew Hnatov, Janet Buyer, Matthew Brookman
This report documents work performed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under an interagency agreement in support of the Commission's effort to address the carbon

Flame Retardant Emissions from Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation

April 20, 2016
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck, Adam P. Blickley, Matthew Schlegel, Angelica Connor
The desire to build more energy efficient homes in the United States has led to the expansion of the residential spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation industry. Upon application of SPF, reacting chemicals form expanding polyurethane foam that fills
