Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debris of interior fuels that was capable of supporting smouldering combustion continued to smoulder, in most cases, after extinguishment of flame. A semiquantitative estimate of the probability of fire starts in urban interiors, based on results of the present investigation, predicted a reduction of primary significant fire incidence by factors of 2 to 3 due to fire-blast interaction. The analysis indicates further reductions of primary significant fire incidence would occur at higher overpressures if effective mechanisms were found to be operative for extinguishment of smouldering combustion of debris.

Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was conducted of the effect of simulated nuclear blast waves on fires, simulating those that would be started in urban interiors due to thermal radiation that would have emanated from a 1 Mt-yield weapon assumed to be the source of the simulated blast. Blast waves in the range 1 to 5 psi nominal overpressure propagated through windows in a non-failing wall into full-scale test rooms furnished as typical living room, bedroom and office occupancies. The fire-blast interaction, in various combinations of occupancy and incident overpressure, and for non-failing walls having two different window areas, was documented by conventional and high-speed motion picture photography, and by post-test photography and recorded observations.

Book Synopsis Combined Airblast and Incendiary Effects from Nuclear Weapons on Urban Areas by : Kenneth E. Gould
Download or read book Combined Airblast and Incendiary Effects from Nuclear Weapons on Urban Areas written by Kenneth E. Gould and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nuclear weapon airblast phenomena and free-field environment are described, vulnerability levels of buildings and building components to airblast are summarized, and damage zones are defined. The nuclear weapon thermal radiation phenomena are described and the free-field environment is estimated. A technique is described which permits the fraction of buildings burned up by initial ignitions and the local spread of fires to be illustrated as a function of weapon yield and distance from ground zero. Results from previous studies are used to apply the technique to single-family residential areas. The synergistic effects of airblast and thermal radiation and fires are analyzed and illustrated. It is concluded that for many conditions of interest (moderate height-of-burst, megaton weapon, reasonably clear atmospheric conditions and single-family residential areas), airblast may blow out initial fires so as to significantly reduce the fraction of houses burned up in areas suffering a relatively high degree of burnout; but areas of, for example, 25% to 40% burnout may be unaffected because they occur beyond the range at which airblast is assumed sufficient to extinguish fires.
Download or read book Whole World on Fire written by Lynn Eden and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole World on Fire focuses on a technical riddle wrapped in an organizational mystery: How and why, for more than half a century, did the U.S. government fail to predict nuclear fire damage as it drew up plans to fight strategic nuclear war?U.S. bombing in World War II caused massive fire damage to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but later war plans took account only of damage from blast; they completely ignored damage from atomic firestorms. Recently a small group of researchers has shown that for modern nuclear weapons the destructiveness and lethality of nuclear mass fire often--and predictably--greatly exceeds that of nuclear blast. This has major implications for defense policy: the U.S. government has underestimated the damage caused by nuclear weapons, Lynn Eden finds, and built far more warheads, and far more destructive warheads, than it needed for the Pentagon's war-planning purposes. How could this have happened? The answer lies in how organizations frame the problems they try to solve. In a narrative grounded in organization theory, science and technology studies, and primary historical sources (including declassified documents and interviews), Eden explains how the U.S. Air Force's doctrine of precision bombing led to the development of very good predictions of nuclear blast--a significant achievement--but for many years to no development of organizational knowledge about nuclear fire. Expert communities outside the military reinforced this disparity in organizational capability to predict blast damage but not fire damage. Yet some innovation occurred, and predictions of fire damage were nearly incorporated into nuclear war planning in the early 1990s. The author explains how such a dramatic change almost happened, and why it did not. Whole World on Fire shows how well-funded and highly professional organizations, by focusing on what they do well and systematically excluding what they don't do well, may build a poor representation of the world--a self-reinforcing fallacy that can have serious consequences. In a sweeping conclusion, Eden shows the implications of the analysis for understanding such things as the sinking of the Titanic, the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and the poor fireproofing in the World Trade Center.
