Multiple sources of information were collected and analyzed: over 1,000 new interviews with survivors (including 803 telephone interviews, 225 face-to-face interviews, and 5 focus groups); over 700 published interviews; 9-1-1 emergency calls; transcripts

A Review of Building Evacuation Models

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski, Richard D. Peacock
Evacuation calculations are increasingly becoming a part of performance-based analyses to assess the level of life safety provided in buildings. In some cases, engineers are using back-of-the-envelope (hand) calculation to assess life safety, and in others

Richard D. Peacock, Jason D. Averill, Richard W. Bukowski, Paul A. Reneke
This report documents the first test series in the program conducted to characterize the test environment. Data presented include CO, CO2, O2, smoke obscuration, and temperature. Additional measurement of smoke particle size and concentration, additional

Characteristics of Fire Scenarios in Which Sublethal Effects of Smoke Are Important

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Jason D. Averill, Paul A. Reneke, Walter W. Jones
A number of simulations were performed using the CFAST zone fire model to predict the relative times at which smoke inhalation and heat exposure would result in incapacitation. Fires in three building types were modeled: a ranch house, a hotel, and an

Fire Safety of Passenger Trains. Phase 3. Evaluation of Fire Hazard Analysis Using Full-Scale Passenger Rail Car Tests (NISTIR 6563)

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Jason D. Averill, Daniel M. Madrzykowski, D W. Stroup, Paul A. Reneke, Richard W. Bukowski
Fire safety is an area of particular interest for both conventional intercity and commuter passenger trains, and new high-speed trains. A systems approach to fire safety addresses passenger rail car design and materials, detection and suppression
