Smoke Toxicity Data for Fire Hazard and Risk Assessment of Cable Products

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard Gann, Richard D. Peacock, Jason D. Averill, Marc R. Nyden
This report presents the methodology for and results from a series of room-scale fire tests to produce data on the yields of toxic products in both pre-flashover and post-flashover fires. Trays of common household electric cable burned in a room with a

Standardized Cost Structure for the Environmental Industry

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Dat Duthinh, Kuldeep Prasad
This paper presents a simplified, planar analysis of World Trade Center Tower 1 (WTC1), starting from a computer simulation of the fire using computational fluid dynamics, and progressing through a thermal and a structural analysis of the damaged structure

Surface and Interface Properties of Crosslinked Amine-Cured Epoxies

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, G Xiaohong, M Giraud, Mark R. VanLandingham, Jonathan W. Martin
The surface and film/substrate interface properties of a coating system have a strong influence on its adhesion and durability. However, both the surface and interface chemical composition and microstructure of a crosslinked coating applied to a substrate

Survey of the State-of-the-Art for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Systems

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Kathryn Butler, Marc R. Nyden, William G. Rippey
It is possible to generate electrical energy from the motion of water due to ocean tides and waves. Oceans are a much more ubiquitous source of flowing water than river gorges, and the ability to efficiently harness this energy could potentially solve many

Testing of an Alternate Smoking Material

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard Gann
ASTM test method E2187-02b is not appropriate for measuring the ignition strength of a cigarette-shaped smoking material that does not have a tobacco column that burns during smoking. This letter reports a measurement of the relative ignition strength of

The AASHTO Accreditation Program: Serving the HMA Industry
