  1. 11. Consequences of using Quantitative Risk Assessment as a verification tool

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Joey Öström; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantitative Risk Assessment; QRA; performance-based design; verification tool; performance solution; performance requirements; fire risk assessment; residential building; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : What are the consequences of using Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) as a verification tool? Performance-based building codes differ from prescriptive-based codes in that they define specific objectives to be met, enabling the building designer to choose which solution to use so long it meets the objectives. This master’s thesis explores the consequences of using QRA as a verification tool in comparison to existing verification methods currently in use in Australia. READ MORE

  3. 12. Fire Risk and Hazard Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Technologies in Underground Facilities: A Literature Review

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Sean Meehan; [2022]
    Keywords : lithium-ion battery; hazards; risks; thermal runaway; detection; fire protection; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns.

  4. 13. Occupant loads and COVID-19: The impact on office building fire evacuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Malte Larsson Silli; [2022]
    Keywords : Occupant load; physical distancing; evacuation; COVID-19; office building; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : COVID-19 was declared a world-wide pandemic in 2020, consequently affecting societies all around the globe. This thesis investigates one of these effects, namely how the pandemic affected occupant loads in office buildings and its subsequent effect on fire evacuation. READ MORE

  5. 14. 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

  6. 15. 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
