  2. 11. On the Characteristics of Fires in Tunnels

    Author : Anders Lönnermark; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; experiments; tunnel fire; heat release rate; temperature; fire spread; ventilation; backlayering; pulsations; thermoacoustic instability; equivalence ratio; emissions; gas concentrations; toxicity; Technological sciences; Teknik; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik; Road transport technology; Vägtransportteknik; Railway transport technology; Järnvägstransportteknik;

    Abstract : Important phenomena related to tunnel fires are presented including both experimental and theoretical work. The main focus is on the large-scale fire tests performed in 2003, in the Runehamar tunnel in Norway. READ MORE

  4. 12. Model Uncertainty in Fire Safety Engineering

    Author : Johan Lundin; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Summary: Traditionally, fire safety has often been addressed with methods based on prescriptive recommendations. The opportunity to use an alternative analytical approach has led to the development of fire safety engineering, beginning with structural fire safety design in the 1960's and today including fire safety design and fire risk analysis in general.

  5. 13. Fire, plant-derived smoke and grazing effects on regeneration, productivity and diversity of the Sudanian savanna-woodland ecosystem

    Author : Sidzabda Djibril Dayamba; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The establishment and subsequent dynamics and productivity of many plants is affected by diverse environmental factors, some of the most important in savanna ecosystems being herbivory, fire and its related cues. This thesis assessed the effects of these factors on the woody and herbaceous regeneration, productivity and diversity of Sudanian savanna-woodlands. READ MORE

  6. 14. A multi-scale approach for predicting the fire response of building barriers

    Author : Blanca Andrés Valiente; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fire; Building Barriers; Heat transfer; Experimental; Gypsum; Stone wool; furnace; H-TRIS;

    Abstract : Building barriers are compartmentation elements in buildings that limit the passage of fire and smoke to adjacent spaces. They are key elements in the overall response of a building in a fire. The adequate fire response of building barriers is usually assessed by the fulfilment of standardized resistance to fire tests.

  7. 15. Low smoke halogen-free materials for wire and cable applications

    Author : Anna Lundgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flame retardant; calcium carbonate; calcium silicate; Casico; polyolefin; effervescence; intumescent structure; thermal degradation; silicone elastomer;

    Abstract : Fire safety issues are becoming increasingly important in modern society and cables are one potential fire risk since they can start a fire and/or spread one. Traditionally, materials containing halogen have been used as primary insulation in low voltage power and telecommunication cables and most cables used today therefore contain halogen. READ MORE
