1. 16. Visibility in Smoke With Different Extinction Coefficients

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lea Elhokayem; [2022]
   Keywords : Visibility; smoke; exit sign; extinction coefficient; visibility constant; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researchers who were testing out his theory by going around experimenting in different ways and also by showing that there is way for more research to be done.

3. 17. 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.

4. 18. Heritage on Fire – Complexities, Potential Solutions and Current Regulations: An Exploratory Study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Bianca Coutinho; [2021]
   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

5. 19. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TRAVELLING FIRE IN LARGE SPACES WITH MULTI-ZONE FIRE MODEL AND FDS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Paolo Bertoli; [2021]
   Keywords : Multi-Zone fire model; FDS; Large enclosures; Travelling fire.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A knowledge of far field temperatures is valuable for Performance Based Design structural analysis and life safety analysis, where a parametric study is needed. A fire model using multiple zones called a multi zone (MZ) fire model has in previous studies shown good potential as an analytical tool for predicting far field temperatures in large compartments.

6. 20. Damage Criteria for Fibre Optic Cables Exposed to Fire - Using data transfer as functional criterium

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Joakim Åström; Sofia Lindahl; [2021]
   Keywords : Cable; fibre optic cables; data transfer; data loss; functional criterium; damage criteria; bend diameter; temperature; fire conditions; heat flux; cone calorimeter; probabilistic distribution; risk analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to analyse the possibility to use fibre optic cables for critical safety features in high reliability facilities. In more detail, this report investigates how transferred data in fibre optic cables are affected by fire and if there is any risk that the data becomes corrupted or lost when exposed to fire conditions.
