  1. 26. Modelling Ascending Stair Evacuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Caroline Eriksson Lantz; [2015]
    Keywords : Ascending stair evacuation; stair evacuation modelling; walking speed in stairs.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The thesis presents a basic validation study on the use of evacuation models for the simulation of ascending stair evacuation. The validation of the evacuation models is performed against a benchmark experiment consisting of a 50-floor ascending evacuation. READ MORE

  3. 27. Quality assurance and the simulation of fires - A practical application for automated validation of user-generated input data for Fire Dynamics Simulator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Kristoffer Hermansson; [2015]
    Keywords : FDS; Fire Dynamics Simulator; fire safety; fire simulation; quality assurance; automation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In order to systematize and rationalize the quality control process for FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) input data a software application for this specific purpose has been developed. In order to study the occurrence of user related errors in FDS input data and the possibility of reducing such errors by using the developed application, a case study on archived FDS input data from actual building projects has also been performed.

  4. 28. The Impact of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Constructions on Risk Level onboard Large Passenger Ships

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anders Lynner; Josip Novacic; [2015]
    Keywords : Lightweight materials; fiber-reinforced polymer; FRP; fire safety; evacuation; ship; fire dynamics simulator; FDS; critical conditions; corridor; cabin; risk; Lättviktsmaterial; brandsäkerhet; utrymning; fartyg; kritiska förhållanden; korridor; kabin; risk.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main objective of this project was to determine how a FRP composite structure performs compared to a steel structure in regard to fire safety and risk level during an evacuation. More specifically the objective was to study how the differences in the thermal properties influence the smoke layer height, visibility and the temperature of the gases in the early stages of a fire.

  5. 29. Effects of Water Mist System on a Controlled Fire

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jasper Ho; [2015]
    Keywords : Fire; water mist; simulation; experiment; extinguish; extinguishment; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current legislation regarding implementation of water mist system(s) requires full scale testing specific to its intended use which involves extensive funding that discourages potential users. This motivates the desire for accurate water mist simulation. READ MORE

  6. 30. Modeling the effect of the use of fiber reinforced plastics on the evacuation of a ro-pax passenger deck

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Andres Rodriguez Panagiotopoulos; [2014]
    Keywords : Fire safety; Fiber reinforced plastics; ship; FDS EVAC; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern ship design and construction is striving to make sea transportation more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly. One of the possible solutions is to make the ships lighter by reducing the weight of the superstructure, constructing it completely or partially with lightweight materials such as Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), like glass fiber composites or carbon fiber composites.
