  3. 22. Perceived Severity of Visually Accessible Fires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik; Lunds universitet/Brandingenjörsprogrammet; Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Karl Fridolf; [2010]
    Keywords : human behaviour; fire growth; subjective estimation; extinguish fire; risk perception; visually accessible fires; mänskligt beteende; brandtillväxt; subjektiv uppskattning; släcka brand; riskperception; visuellt tillgängliga bränder; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Investigations of past fires suggest that building occupants faced with a fire have problems defining the severity of it, especially in the early stages of the fire. An experiment was therefore carried out to study people’s ability to estimate fire growth, and their perceived ability to extinguish a fire using a portable fire extinguisher. READ MORE

  4. 23. Modelling Crowd Evacuation from Road and Train Tunnels - Data and design for faster evacuations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik; Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Keywords : Icelandic fire prevention regulation; life safety; Fire engineering; evacuation of buildings; reliability methods; analysis of uncertainty; b-index; smoke development; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study deals with the assessment, using probabilistic methods, of people’s fire safety in buildings. The problem is addressed by modelling the evacuation of people from the fire- and smoke-threatened area. The buildings considered are assumed to be designed according to the Icelandic fire prevention regulation. READ MORE
