Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering
Author: John H. KlotePublisher:
ISBN: 9781936504244
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering extends the tradition of the comprehensive treatment of smoke control technology, including fundamental concepts, smoke control systems, and methods of analysis. The handbook provides information needed for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. It is also extremely useful for practicing engineers, architects, code officials, researchers, and students. Following the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this new book incorporates the latest research and advances in smoke control practice. New topics in the handbook are: controls, fire and smoke control in transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified instructions with examples. This is the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world. Systems discussed in the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. The latest smoke control research and most current engineering approaches are also included. Unique to previous smoke control literature, this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers prevent smoke damage.

Design Approaches for Smoke Control in Atrium Buildings
Author: G. O. HansellPublisher: Building Research Establishment
ISBN: 9780851256153
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
This report is intended to assist designers of smoke ventilation systems in atrium buildings. Most of the methods advocated are the outcome of research into smoke movement and control at the Fire Research Station (FRS), but also take into account experience gained and ideas developed whilst the authors and their colleagues have discussed many proposed schemes with interested parties. The primary purpose of the Report is to summarise in a readily usable form the design advice available from FRS at the time of its preparation, As such, it does not attempt to cover installation, detailed specification of hardware, or aspects of fire safety engineering other than smoke control.

Principles of Fire Risk Assessment in Buildings
Author: David YungPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470714050
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This book arrives at just the right time to facilitate understanding of performance-based fire risk assessment in buildings – an integral part of the global shift in policy away from traditional prescriptive codes. Yung, an internationally recognised expert on the subject of fire risk assessment, introduces the basic principles and techniques that help the reader to understand the various methodologies that are currently in place or being proposed by different organisations. Through his illustration of basic principles and techniques he enables the reader to conduct their own fire risk assessments. He demonstrates how the probabilities of fire scenarios are assessed based on the probabilities of success and failure of fire protection measures that are in place. He also shows how the consequences of fire scenarios are assessed based on the intensity and speed of fire and smoke spread, the probability and speed of occupant response and evacuation, and the effectiveness and speed of fire department response and rescue efforts. Yung’s clear and practical approach to this highly topical subject enables the reader to integrate the various tools available into a quantitative framework that can be used for decision making. He brings an invaluable resource to all those involved in fire engineering and risk assessment, including students, academics, building designers, fire protection engineers, structural engineers, regulators and risk analysts.
Relationships for Smoke Control Calculations

ISBN: 9780900953699
Category : Fire prevention
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
These Technical Memoranda have been prepared in order to provide engineering relationships which can be used as part of the overall fire safety design of buildings with atria an other spaces where large numbers of people may be exposed to smoke, toxic atmospheres and hot gases. The need for smoke control depends on many aspects of the building design and use, including the combustibility of the contents, mobility of occupants, and ease of escape. The smoke control measures needed, if any, may be simple perhaps exploiting the normal ventilation system-or they may require extra equipment and controls. These considerations are taken in context in fire safety engineering design and are dealt with elsewhere(l). This publication is intended as a source document for design guidance. The relationships are based on published, authoritative information, where this is available, and the limits of applicability are suggested. In cases where the basis of a relationship is not firmly established, the relationship is given on the understanding that it may be superseded when further information is available. This is made clear in the text. It should normally be possible to use the information given here without resort to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or physical modelling, although these are valuable tools which can be used for unusual designs or to generate future design guidance. The basic principles involved in CFD and what is offered to the designer are described in Appendix 2. Background notes and sources for these Memoranda are given in Appendix 3. However, information on smoke generation and smoke control is increasing rapidly and new data can be used to augment the guidance given here.
