    Abstract

    Fire-safety Engineering is written as a textbook for Engineering students at universities and other institutions of higher education that teach in the area of fire. The book can also be used as a work of reference for consulting engineers, Building product manufacturers, contractors, building project
    administrators, etc.
    The book deals with the following topics:

    • Historical presentation on the subject of fire
    • Legislation and building project administration
    • European fire standardization

    • Performance-based Codes
    • Fire-safety Engineering
    • Fundamental thermodynamics
    • Heat exchange during the fire process
    • Skin burns
    • Burning rate, energy release rate and design fires
    • Proposal to Risk-based design fires
    • Proposal to a Fire scale
    • Material ignition and flame spread
    • Fire dynamics in buildings
    • Combustion products and toxic gases
    • Smoke inhalation and respiratory physiology
    • Combustion and natural fires
    • Explosion theory
    • Fire Chemistry
    • Fire Extinction Chemistry and Physics
    • Evacuation and human behaviour during a fire
