Experiments and Modeling of Structural Steel Elements Exposed to a Fire. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-5B) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Alexander Maranghides, Kevin B. McGrattan, Erik L. Johnsson, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, Michelle K. Donnelly, Jiann C. Yang, George W. Mulholland, Kuldeep R. Prasad, S R. Kukuck, Robert Anleitner, Therese P. McAllister
Reconstructing the fires and their impact on structural components in the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings on September 11, 2001, requires extensive use of computational models. For the use of such models to be a viable investigative tool, it is

Richard G. Gann, Anthony P. Hamins, Kevin B. McGrattan, George W. Mulholland, Harold E. Nelson, Thomas J. Ohlemiller, William M. Pitts, Kuldeep R. Prasad
The collapses of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, resulted from a combination of aircraft impact damage and the ensuing fires. This report documents: The information obtained on the factors that affected the nature, duration and

Thermal Imaging Research Needs for First Responders: Workshop Proceedings

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Francine K. Amon, Nelson P. Bryner, Anthony P. Hamins
This workshop provided a forum to discuss the strategies, technologies, procedures, best practices, research and development that can significantly improve thermal imaging technology. The goal of the workshop was to identify barriers that impede advances

The NIST 3 Megawatt Quantitative Heat Release Rate Facility - Description and Procedures

September 1, 2004
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

Author(s)
Francine K. Amon, Anthony P. Hamins, Jungho Kim, Vytenis Benetis
The Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a new bench-scale testing facility and methods to evaluate the performance of thermal imagers used by fire fighters to search for

Evaluation of Thermal Imaging Cameras Used in Fire Fighting Applications

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Francine K. Amon, Anthony P. Hamins
Thermal imaging cameras are rapidly becoming integral equipment for first responders for use in burning structures. Currently there are no standardized test methods or performance metrics available to the users or manufacturers of these instruments. The
