Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Assemblies under a Column Removal Scenario

November 8, 2012

Author(s)

Yihai Bao, Hai S. Lew, Sashi K. Kunnath

This paper presents a computational investigation of two reinforced concrete beam-column assemblies, each comprising three columns and two beams, subjected to monotonically increasing vertical displacement of the unsupported center column simulating a

Indoor Air Quality Analyses of Commercial Reference Buildings

November 1, 2012

Author(s)

Lisa C. Ng, Amy Musser, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich

Sixteen commercial reference buildings were created in the multizone airflow and contaminant transport program CONTAM in order to support airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) analyses, which are not possible using the existing EnergyPlus input files for

R134a/Al 2 O 3 Nanolubricant Mixture Pool Boiling on a Rectangular Finned Surface

October 31, 2012

Author(s)

Mark A. Kedzierski

This paper quantifies the influence of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the pool boiling performance of R134a/polyolester mixtures on a rectangular finned boiling surface. Nanolubricants with 10 nm diameter Al2O3 nanoparticles of various volume fractions (1AlO, 2AlO

A Study of Thermal Behavior of a Composite Floor System in Standard Fire Resistance Tests

October 26, 2012

Author(s)

Dilip K. Banerjee, John L. Gross

This report summarizes the characterization of the furnace thermal environment and thermal behavior of members during the fire tests. Additionally, numerical results from a heat transfer finite element model of a representative section of the floor system

Finite-element models of the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL)and modular support structure

October 26, 2012

Author(s)

Dat Duthinh

This report documents the development of finite-element models (FEM) of the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) and its modular support structure. The models enable a future user of the NFRL to add a potential test structure and perform thermal and

High Resolution Imagery Collection Utilizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Post-Disaster Studies

October 24, 2012

Author(s)

Stuart M. Adams, Marc Levitan, Friedland J. Carol

This paper examines the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as platforms to capture imagery at the neighborhood and individual building level for use in post-disaster field studies. Applications of UAVs in recent disasters as described in the literature

Estimation of Hurricane Wind Speed Probablities: Application to New York City and Other Coastal Locations

October 11, 2012

Author(s)

Dong Hun Yeo, Emil Simiu, Ning Lin

This paper presents a procedure for estimating parametric probabilistic models of hurricane wind speeds from existing information on estimated wind speeds with various mean recurrence intervals (MRIs). Such models may be needed, for example, for the

Helium Dispersion in an Attached Single-Car Residential Garage with and Without Vehicle

October 2, 2012

Author(s)

William M. Pitts, Jiann C. Yang, Marco G. Fernandez, Kuldeep R. Prasad

The dispersion and loss of helium inside a single-car residential garage attached to a single-family house was experimentally characterized by recording time-resolved helium concentrations at multiple locations in the garage and at a single location in the

Measurement of Temperature, Displacement, and Strain in Structural Components Subject to Fire Effects: Concepts and Candidate Approaches

September 28, 2012

Author(s)

Therese P. McAllister, William E. Luecke, Mark A. Iadicola, Matthew F. Bundy

For the last forty years, NIST has led the world in fire metrology through research conducted at the Large Fire Laboratory, which is being expanded to enable experiments on real-scale structures under combined structural and fire loads. The combined

Summary of Workshop on Fire-Structure Interaction and Urban and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires Operation Tomodachi: Fire Research

September 28, 2012

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka S. Suzuki, Tokiyoshi Yamada

Dr. Samuel L. Manzello of NISTs Engineering Laboratory (EL) served as the USA side organizer of the 2nd Japan-USA workshop held in Tokyo, Japan from July 1 to July 4, 2012. This workshop was known as Operation Tomodachi - Fire Research. Tomodachi means

Motorcoach Tire Fires  Passenger Compartment Penetration, Tenability, Mitigation, and Material Performance

September 27, 2012

Author(s)

Erik L. Johnsson, Jiann C. Yang

Full-scale fire experiments were conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to investigate tire fire interactions with the passenger compartment of a motorcoach. A burner was designed to imitate the frictional heating of hub and

Factors Influencing the Smoldering Performance of Polyurethane Foam

September 26, 2012

Author(s)

Mauro Zammarano, Szabolcs Matko, Roland H. Kraemer, Rick D. Davis, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Shivani N. Mehta

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether polyurethane foam (PUF) could be produced as a standard reference material for ultimate use in a standard test intended to ensure the smoldering performance of commercially available upholstered furniture

Characterizing Firebrand Exposure from Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires: Results from the 2007 Angora Fire

September 22, 2012

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Ethan I. Foote

This study examines the size distribution and other characteristics of firebrand exposure during the 2007 Angora Fire, a severe Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire in California. Of the 401 houses that received direct interface fire exposure 61% were
