Virtual Testing of Ready-Mixed Concrete

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard
The development of a virtual testing system is no small task. It requires fundamental scientific research into the physics, chemistry, and materials science of concrete. The Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory consortium has identified three

A Suite of Homes Representing the U.S. Housing Stock

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Dennis D. Leber
In order to facilitate nationwide analysis of ventilation and indoor air quality issues in residential buildings, a set of homes has been defined to represent the housing stock of the United States. This so-called suite of homes is based on two residential

BUILDING AND FIRE RESEARCH AT NBS/NIST 1975-2000

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Richard N. Wright
In the last quarter of the 20th Century, building and fire research programs at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, provided one of the most significant sources of technology, measurements and

CYCLE_D: NIST Vapor Compression Cycle Design Program Version 3.0 Users' Guide.

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David Didion, J Chi
The CYCLE_D package simulates the vapor compression refrigeration cycles that use pure refrigerants or mixtures of refrigerants. The model can simulate a basic refrigeration cycle as well as a cycle with a liquidline/suction-line heat exchanger. CYCLE_D

Enemies at the Gate: Securing the BACnetRG Building.

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg
The building automation industry is moving away from isolated building control systems toward building automation systems (BAS) integrated with business applications on a shared "IT" network. This open shared architecture allows not only for integration of

Modeling Fire Growth and Spread in Houses. (Abstract/Presentation/Visuals)

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan
In cooperation with the fire protection engineering community, a numerical fire model, Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), is being developed at NIST to study fire behavior and to evaluate the performance of fire protection systems in buildings. Version 1 of

NIST 3 Megawatt Quantitative Heat Release Rate Facility (NIST SP 1007)

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Rodney A. Bryant, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Erik L. Johnsson, Anthony P. Hamins, B S. Grove, William F. Guthrie, Alexander Maranghides, George W. Mulholland
The 3 Megawatt Heat Release Rate Facility was developed at NIST as a first step toward having broad capabilities for making quantitative large scale fire measurements. Such capabilities will be used at NIST to validate fire models and to develop sub-grid
