Fire Alarm Systems With Building Automation and Control Systems

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby
Integrating fire alarm systems with building automation systems can result in many economic and operational benefits. Such integration requires communication standards and careful design practices. BACnet is an internationally recognized communication

Heat Feedback to the Fuel Surface in Pool Fires (NIST SP 971)

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, S. J. Fischer, Takashi Kashiwagi
A series of measurements designed to investigate the heat feedback in pool fires burning liquid fuels are reported. Such measurements are essential for the development and validation of detailed models which predict the burning rate of liquid hydrocarbons

International Study of the Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survivability and Health (SEFS): Phase 1. Final Report (NIST TN 1439)

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Richard G. Gann, Jason D. Averill, Kathryn M. Butler, Walter W. Jones, George W. Mulholland, J L. Neviaser, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke, J R. Hall
Fire smoke toxicity has been a recurring theme for fire safety professionals for over four decades. There especially continue to be difficulty and controversy in assessing and addressing the contribution of the sublethal effects of smoke in hazard and risk

Kinetics of Reaction of Calcium Hydroxide and Fly Ash

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joseph J. Biernacki, P J. Williams, Paul E. Stutzman
The alkali activated reaction kinetics of a type-F fly ash with calcium hydroxide (CH) and water has been investigated at temperatures between 25 and 60 C. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine CH consumption and production of hydrates
