The ability for investigators to visible identify and interpret damage to electrical conductors
<p>The intent of a fire investigations is to correctly interpret the damage in order to identify the cause responsible for the fire and potentially help prevent similar incidents in the future. According to current guidelines of fire scene processing, fire investigators can implement the procedure …

Hazards presented by pyrolysis and combustion products during laboratory experiments and real incidents
Heat, flame, smoke and fire gases are responsible for the vast majority of fire deaths and injuries and are all products of the chemical and physical processes that occur within fire. This is well known and supported by fire statistics but current fire safety does not directly consider these …

Using multivariate statistical procedures to identify ignitable liquid residues in the presence of interferences
… is a common technique used in the analysis of fire debris. In this approach, the chromatogram of an ignitable liquid residue (ILR) extracted from the debris is visually compared to chromatograms of neat liquids in a reference collection. However, the association of the ILR to the neat liquid …

Colorimetric sensor arrays with a pre-oxidation method for gaseous analytes
… used for quality control of automotive fuels and fire investigation to indicate the presence of the ignitable liquids. A pre-oxidation spot have been developed as we transition to a linear array since the pre-oxidation tube will be difficult to incorporate. An inorganic formulation consisting of …

The use of numerical optimisation techniques in computational fire engineering models: a study through evacuation modelling analyses
… in the transition process from prescriptive fire safety codes to performance-based ones over the last three decades. In fact, such models became also useful tools in different tasks within fire safety engineering field, such as fire risks assessment and fire investigation. However, there are …

Examination of the forensic engineering techniques employed on fire-damaged concrete structures
… criteria as well as other related issues such as fire resistance. The use of PC replacements in ready-mixed concrete has been made obligatory in Dubai from 1st April 2015. This recent move towards using greener concretes has been implemented with little research on their heat resistant properties …
