DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Actionable strategies for the design and construction of fire-resistant structures This hands-on guide clearly explains the complex building codes and standards that relate to fire design and presents hands-on techniques engineers can apply to prevent or mitigate the effects of fire in structures. Dedicated chapters discuss specific procedures for steel, concrete, and timber buildings. You will get step-by-step guidance on how to evaluate fire resistance using both testing and calculation methods. Structural Fire Engineering begins with an introduction to the behavioral aspects of fire and explains how structural materials react when exposed to elevated temperatures. From there, the book discusses the fire design aspects of key codes and standards, such as the International Building Code, the International Fire Code, and the NFPA Fire Code. Advanced topics are covered in complete detail, including residual capacity evaluation of fire damaged structures and fire design for bridges and tunnels. Explains the fire design requirements of the IBC, IFC, the NFPA Fire Code, and National Building Code of Canada Presents design strategies for steel, concrete, and timber structures as well as for bridges and tunnels Contains downloadable spreadsheets and problems along with solutions for instructors

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →L'ETUDE PRESENTEE DANS CE MEMOIRE PORTE SUR LA MODELISATION NUMERIQUE PAR LA METHODE DES VOLUMES FINIS D'ECOULEMENTS TRIDIMENSIONNELS, TURBULENTS, STATIONNAIRES, COMPRESSIBLES EN MILIEUX CONFINES COMME LE SONT CEUX GENERES PAR LES SYSTEMES DE VENTILATION DANS LES TUNNELS ROUTIERS EN CAS D'INCENDIE. L'OBJECTIF EST DE DEVELOPPER ET VALIDER DES METHODES DE CALCUL POUR REPRESENTER LES PHENOMENES PHYSIQUES INTERVENANT LORS D'UNE ASPIRATION PAR UNE TRAPPE DE DESENFUMAGE D'UNE NAPPE STRATIFIEE. L'ENSEMBLE DES TRAVAUX DONNE DES INFORMATIONS ET INDICATIONS SUR LES CONDITIONS DE MODELISATION D'ASPIRATION DE FUMEES PAR DES TRAPPES DE DESENFUMAGE DE TUNNELS ROUTIERS ET SUR LES PERFORMANCES DU CODE CFXF3D POUR PREDIRE CES ECOULEMENTS. L'INDEPENDANCE DU MAILLAGE, L'EFFET DE LA NATURE DE LA CONDITION LIMITE POUR TRADUIRE UNE EXTRACTION ET L'INFLUENCE DE CERTAINS PARAMETRES (DEBIT D'ASPIRATION ET LE NOMBRE DE TRAPPES) SONT EXAMINES. UNE ETUDE PHENOMENOLOGIQUE DES ECOULEMENTS AU SEIN DU TUNNEL EST AUSSI TRAITEE CARACTERISANT LA STRUCTURE DES FUMEES SOUMISES A UN COURANT D'AIR LONGITUDINAL. UN MODELE SIMPLIFIE PERMETTANT DE REPRODUIRE LES EFFETS INDUITS PAR UNE TRAPPE D'ASPIRATION SUR L'ECOULEMENT AU SEIN DU TUNNEL ET BASE SUR LA NOTION DE PUITS (DE MASSE, DE QUANTITE DE MOUVEMENT ET D'ENTHALPIE) EST PROPOSE. L'ELABORATION DE CE MODELE ET L'EVALUATION DE SES PERFORMANCES SONT EFFECTUEES EN PRENANT EN COMPTE UNE TRAPPE D'ASPIRATION, PUIS TROIS TRAPPES. LES TEMPS DE CALCUL SONT ALORS FORTEMENT REDUITS. CES ETUDES SONT COMPLETEES PAR UNE CONFRONTATION ENTRE RESULTATS NUMERIQUES ET EXPERIMENTAUX. LES ESSAIS SELECTIONNES ONT ETE REALISES SUR UNE MAQUETTE DE TUNNEL A L'ECHELLE 1/20 E M E. DES INFORMATIONS INTERESSANTES SUR LA VALIDATION DES MODELES EMPLOYES ET DES HYPOTHESES FAITES SONT OBTENUES. NOTAMMENT, IL EST MONTRE QUE LE MODELE DE TURBULENCE K- STANDARD REPRODUIT CORRECTEMENT LES PHENOMENES D'ASPIRATION DE FUMEES SANS AJUSTEMENT PARTICULIER DES VALEURS DES CONSTANTES.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 836: Guidelines for Emergency Ventilation Smoke Control in Roadway Tunnels presents guidelines for ventilation in roadway tunnels to facilitate human evacuation and emergency responder safety. These guidelines consider tunnel geometrics such as tunnel altitude; physical dimensions (i.e., length, cross section); type of traffic flow (i.e., single or bi-directional flow); and fan utilization and placement. They also consider cargo types and quantities as they pertain to fire heat release rates (FHRRs) and ventilation requirements. The guidelines determine the effects of ventilation on tunnel fires including fire size, and the interaction of firefighting and ventilation system operation. " -- Publisher description
