All-Hazards Approach is Needed to Support Building Movement Strategies

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
N E. Groner
People face a variety of hazards in built environments. The emergency management field has developed various approaches applicable to building emergencies, and the "all-hazards" or "multi-hazards" approach is among the most potentially valuable. At all

Characterization of a 2-D Pool Fire Simulator

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
P J. Disimile, John M. Davis
The current paper introduces a facility to be used for the investigation of fire suppressant transport and pool fire extinction in an environment similar to an aircraft engine nacelle. This work is done as part of an ongoing effort to develop a suppressant

Russell A. Kirsch
The Standards Electronic Automatic Computer (SEAC) was the first programmable computer in the United States. The development of SEAC was a cooperative project between the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) team of computer engineers and world-class

Round Robin Study of Total Heat Flux Gauge Calibration at Fire Laboratories

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
William M. Pitts, A V. Murthy, J L. de Ris, J R. Filtz, K Nyard, D Smith, I Wetterlund
Total heat flux gauges are widely employed in fire research and fire testing laboratories. Several fire laboratories have developed systems for calibrating these gauges. There are major differences between these calibration facilities, and prior to this

Fire Dynamics Simulator (Version 4) - User's Guide
