Decision making model of behaviour in office building fire evacuations
… to develop a model of decision making in office building fire evacuations. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire and short film. The questionnaire contained separate fire scenarios that corresponded to the order of cue presentation in the film. For each fire scenario, participants in the …

The transport of high concentrations of carbon monoxide to locations remote from the burning compartment
… of oxygen entrainment on the transport of CO in building fires, and to develop a procedure for estimating CO levels during a building fire. Experiments were performed with an insulated 1/4-scale room connected to the side of a 1/4-scale hallway forming a L-shape. Measurements of CO, unburned …

Calculation of smoke ventilation in building fires including atriums
… of smoke, heat and toxic gases are produced in a building fire. Due to air entrainment into the fire plume, an increasing volume of smoke is generated and spreads throughout the upper layer. The smoke forms a layer which deepens, filling the compartment while simultaneously reducing the …

Economic Welfare Of Firefighting Service In Detroit
… 1 is concerned with the effect of public fire service quality on individual utility. I develop a theoretical model to account for fire risk as a function of socio-economic, housing, and spatial factors. I review relevant literature on certain inherent public fire service issues regarding …

Carbon Monoxide Generation in a Compartment With a Doorway During a Fire
… relevance since the primary cause of death in building fires is smoke inhalation, with the majority of deaths from carbon monoxide, CO, poisoning. An experimental study was conducted to examine upper-layer structure plus provide an initial characterization of a new compartment with a doorway. …

Time and probablity of failure of timber framed walls in fire
… to develop models to predict the performance of fire resistant light-timber framed walls, in relation to requirements of new performance-based building fire regulations being introduced around the world. The performance bases that were adopted in the modelling, were time and probability 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 …
