Book synopsis

This book provides a consistent scientific background to§engineering calculation methods applicable to analyses of materials§reaction-to-fire, as well as fire resistance of structures. Several new and§unique formulas and diagrams which facilitate calculations are presented. It§focuses on problems involving high temperature conditions and, in particular, defines§boundary conditions in a suitable way for calculations. A large portion of the§book is devoted to boundary conditions and measurements of thermal exposure by§radiation and convection. The concepts and theories of adiabatic surface§temperature and measurements of temperature with plate thermometers are§thoroughly explained.§Also presented is a renewed method for modeling compartment§fires, with the resulting simple and accurate prediction tools for both pre-§and post-flashover fires. The final chapters deal with temperature calculations§in steel, concrete and timber structures exposed to standard time-temperature§fire curves. Useful temperature calculation tools are included, and several§examples demonstrate how the finite element code TASEF can be used to calculate§temperature in various configurations.§§Temperature§Calculation in Fire Safety Engineering is intended for researchers,§students, teachers, and consultants in fire safety engineering. It is also§suitable for others interested in analyzing and understanding fire, fire§dynamics, and temperature development. Review questions and exercises are§provided for instructor use.§
