  1. 11. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  3. 12. Flow batteries - Impact on fire safety

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Ajay Menon; [2022]
    Keywords : Flow battery; Flow battery types; Flow battery risks; Firefighting; Fire risk analysis; Safety hazards in flow batteries; Fire risks in lithium-ion battery; Safety hazard in lithium-ion battery; Application of battery storage systems; Safety reports.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The need for sustainable renewable energy has been increasing due to the negative impact of non-renewable energy sources. With the unstable and sporadic nature of sustainable renewable energy, flow batteries show immense potential in mitigating these issues. READ MORE

  4. 13. Reaching Those ‘Out-of-Reach’: An Explorative Case-Study of Fire Prevention in Vulnerable Urban Communities within Copenhagen.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

    Author : Aron Fransson; [2021]
    Keywords : Fire Prevention; Fire Rescue Services; Risk Communication; Fire Governance; Urban Vulnerable Communities; Community Risk Reduction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Considering the nature of vulnerability to fires and at-risk groups, the issue is arguably a social problem where spatial analysis has allowed for a greater context, beyond the individual, to be analyzed. Furthermore, reports from fire rescue services of local safety concerns and the convergence of interest between different stakeholders has made communities disposition to fire safety increasingly relevant.

    Keywords : Fire safety; heritage on fire; fire safety in heritage; historic buildings; heritage buildings.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate, understand and explore issues related to the appropriateness of the existing fire protection solutions in historical buildings and their effectiveness in avoiding catastrophes. Therefore, recent papers, case studies, statutory documents, and guidelines are reviewed. READ MORE

  6. 15. Post-Wildfire Debris Flows: Mapping and Analysis of Risk Factors in Western North America

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Annejet Tuinstra; [2021]
    Keywords : wildfires; debris flows; water repellent soil; North America; skogsbränder; jordskred; vattenavvisande jordlager; Nordamerika;

    Abstract : Climate change is leading to in an increase in frequency and severity of wildfires, which in turn can result in the formation of runoff-initiated post-wildfire debris flows. This type of debris flows is, like most debris flows, triggered by heavy precipitation events. READ MORE
