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
• Passive and active fire protection
• 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
• Sensitivity and risk analysis
• Fire Models
• Emission and Radiation Theory
