Fire Characteristics of Steel Members Coated with Nano-Enhanced Polymers

March 1, 2014
Author(s)
Kathryn M. Butler, Alexander H. Cheng, Christopher Mullen, Ahmed Al-Ostaz
Applying a polymeric coating on steel members has been demonstrated to be an effective countermeasure for the threat of blast on building and other structures. The development of a blast-resistant coating for steel with good characteristics in a fire would

IAQ 2013 Tools Topic Overview

February 20, 2014
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Larry Schoen
The complex relationships between indoor and outdoor environmental conditions, coupled with the impacts of climate change, make it more important than ever before that buildings be comfortable and healthy for the occupants yet also energy efficient. This

Environmental Health in Low Energy Buildings Topic Overview

February 11, 2014
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Hal Levin
Besides providing thermal comfort and acceptable indoor environmental quality (IEQ), the designers of buildings and other enclosed spaces are increasingly challenged to provide a healthy environment in an energy efficient manner. Increasing pressure to

The IAQ and Energy Impacts of Reducing Formaldehyde Emissions in Commercial Building

February 11, 2014
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich, Kevin Y. Teichman
Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings are designed to provide thermally comfortable conditions and to maintain acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ). At the same time, the operating costs of HVAC systems are often a large

Development of Standard Reference Materials for Cement-Based Materials

January 6, 2014
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Nicos Martys, William L. George
Rotational rheometers are routinely used for homogeneous materials, but their usage for characterization of a granular fluid like concrete is a relatively new phenomenon. As measurements with rheometers can involve flow in a complex geometry, it is

A probabilistic approach for the analysis of stair evacuation movement data

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Enrico Ronchi, Erica D. Kuligowski, Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke
This paper presents an innovative method to study stair evacuation data based on a probabilistic analysis of occupant travel paths. This type of approach relies on a detailed video analysis of people movement and pattern reconstruction. Conditional
