February 10, 2016

Author(s)

Alexander Maranghides, Derek McNamara

On February 27, 2011, three fires began in the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas, two of which destroyed or damaged buildings in multiple housing developments. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as part of its Disaster and Failure

Coupling of Whole-Building Energy, Airflow and Contaminant Transport Models (EnergyPlus and CONTAM) Using Co-Simulation

February 4, 2016

Author(s)

William S. Dols, Steven J. Emmerich, Brian J. Polidoro

Building modelers need simulation tools capable of simultaneously considering building energy use, airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) to design and evaluate the ability of buildings and their systems to meet todays demanding energy efficiency and IAQ

Firebrand Production from Building Components Fitted with Siding Treatments

February 1, 2016

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki

Firebrand production from real-scale building components under well-controlled laboratory conditions was investigated. Re-entrant corner assemblies were ignited and during the combustion process, firebrands were collected to determine the size/mass

Author(s)

Aaron N. Johnson, Rodney A. Bryant, Tamae M. Wong, James R. Whetstone, Eric Harman, Woong Kang, Keith A. Gillis, Hsin-Hung Lee, Iosif I. Shinder, Liang Zhang

On April 20-21, 2015, NIST hosted a workshop that, through measurement science, enabled the owners of stationary sources (primarily the electric power industry) and their regulatory agencies (federal and state) to better characterize greenhouse gas (GHG)

Burning Velocity Measurements and Simulations for Understanding the Performance of Fire Suppressants in Aircraft - Letter Report Prepared for Meggitt

January 14, 2016

Author(s)

Gregory T. Linteris, John L. Pagliaro

As described by Reinhardt and co-workers [1], overpressure in the FAA Aerosol Can Test (FAA-ACT) has been observed for the halon replacements HFC-125, Novec 1230, and 2-BTP when added at sub-inerting concentrations. Work by Linteris and co-workers [2-5]

FIRE-STRUCTURE INTERACTION EXPERIMENT PLAN FOR FULL-SCALE COMPOSITE FLOOR SYSTEM

January 12, 2016

Author(s)

Lisa Y. Choe, John L. Gross, William L. Grosshandler, Matthew F. Bundy

The newly-constructed National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides an opportunity for the structural fire research community to undertake experimental research here-to-for not possible. This

Mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites with varied interphases modulus and thickness: A finite element analysis study

January 8, 2016

Author(s)

Dilip K. Banerjee, Tinh Nguyen, Tze-Jer Chuang

The role of the interphase on mechanical performance of glassy polymer/single-walled carbon nanotube composites has been investigated by finite element (FE) method. The matrix and the interphase are modeled using continuum elements and the nanotube is

PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER MODELING AND TALL BUILDING DESIGN

January 1, 2016

Author(s)

Emil Simiu, Liang Shi, DongHun Yeo

Recent research into Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) flows accounts for the difference between �neutral� and �conventionally neutral� flows. Of interest in structural engineering are �conventionally neutral� PBL flows, that is, flows affected by transport

Methodology to Analyze Wind Pressure Data on Components and Cladding of Low-Rise Buildings

December 29, 2015

Author(s)

Dat Duthinh, Joseph A. Main

This note establishes a method to analyze wind pressure data on cladding and components of low-rise buildings using the National Institute of Standards and Technology-University of Western Ontario (NIST-UWO) database. The aerodynamic pressures induced on a
