Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to cast light on all aspects of tunnel fires, based on experimental activities and theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. In particular, the authors describe a transient full-scale fire test (~15 MW), explaining how they designed and performed the experimental activity inside the Morgex North tunnel in Italy. The entire organization of the experiment is described, from preliminary evaluations to the solutions found for management of operational difficulties and safety issues. This fire test allowed the collection of different measurements (temperature, air velocity, smoke composition, pollutant species) useful for validating and improving CFD codes and for testing the real behavior of the tunnel and its safety systems during a diesel oil fire with a significant heat release rate. Finally, the fire dynamics are compared with empirical correlations, CFD simulations, and literature measurements obtained in other similar tunnel fire tests. This book will be of interest to all engineers and public officials who are concerned with the nature, prevention, and management of tunnel fires.

Book excerpt: When physical disability from combat wounds brought about Jim Stockdale's early retirement from military life, he had the distinction of being the only three-star officer in the history of the navy to wear both aviator wings and the Congressional Medal of Honor. His writings have been many and varied, but all converge on the central theme of how man can rise with dignity to prevail in the face of adversity.

This book was released on 1995-07-31 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Live Fire Test Law mandates realistic survivability and lethality testing of covered systems or programs. A provision of the law permits the Secretary of Defense to waive tests if live fire testing would be "unreasonably expensive and impractical." Though no waiver was requested before the F-22 program entered engineering and manufacturing development, the Defense Department later asked that Congress enact legislation to permit a waiver to be granted retroactively. Rather than enact such legislation, Congress requested a study to explore the pros and cons of full-scale, full-up testing for the F-22 aircraft program. The book discusses the origin of testing requirements, evaluates the practicality, affordability, and cost-benefit of live fire tests, and examines the role of testing, modeling, and data bases in vulnerability assessment.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A need is presented for wood-base materials suitable as Standard Reference Materials (SRM's) for nationwide fire testing. Need is based on increasing trend toward large-scale fire testing and use of non-characterized wood materials indiscriminately as a performance reference for other building materials. Research objectives are outlined and studies needed toward the ultimate goal of recommending a procedural guide for selection and processing of wood-base materials for fire testing to ASTM Subcommittee D07.12 on Fire Performance of Wood and Wood-Base Products. This paper presents results of first study which examined red oak as a candidate material from standpoint of present usage, forest resource, growth variability, and fire performance variability in the 8-foot tunnel furnace. The effort toward red oak as an SRM is abandoned primarily due to anticipated decreased usage. A recommendation is made that a reconstituted wood product be investigated as a potential SRM and the 8-foot furnace (ASTM E 286) be used as the reference standard test method for its evaluation.

Book excerpt: Flammability Testing of Materials used in Construction, Transport, and Mining, Second Edition provides an authoritative guide to current best practice in ensuring fire-safe design. The book begins by discussing the fundamentals of flammability, measurement techniques, and the main types of fire tests for various applications. Building on this foundation, a group of chapters then reviews tests for key materials used in the building, transport, and mining sectors. There are chapters on wood products, external cladding, and sandwich panels as well as the flammability of walls and ceilings linings. Tests for upholstered furniture and mattresses, cables, and electrical appliances are also reviewed. A final group of chapters discusses fire tests for the transport sector, including those for railway passenger cars, aircraft, road and rail tunnels, ships, and submarines. There is also a chapter on tests for spontaneous ignition of solid materials. With its distinguished international team of contributors, Flammability Testing of Materials used in Construction, Transport, and Mining is an invaluable reference for fire safety, civil, chemical, mechanical, mining and transport engineers. In this revised edition, the latest information is provided on fire testing of products, systems, components, and materials used across these essential sectors, with all regulations and standards brought up to date. Relays all new developments in fire safety standards, regulations and performance requirements Covers a broad range of infrastructure sectors such as construction, transport, and mining Updated to include cutting-edge fire tests and the latest iteration of standards including ISO, ASTM, and EN

Book excerpt: A study has been made of methods of testing small hand-portable fire extinguishers considered suitable for application to flammable liquids. The study was performed by evaluating the effectiveness of the extinguishers, in which 5 different extinguishing agents were used on 10 types of tires, selected either because they had been used in standard extinguisher tests or simulated other possible conditions of hazard. An analysis was made of the relative merit of the fires for extinguisher testing, the effect of ambient variables on the tests, and the value of the several extinguisher types for use on the fires.
