  3. 2. Fire development in insulated compartements - Effects from improved thermal insulation

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

    Author : Anna Back; [2012]
    Keywords : Fire development; thermal insulation; low energy buildings; lightweight ship constructions; FDS; brand; isolering; lågenergihus; fartyg.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : New construction solutions, such as low energy buildings and lightweight ship constructions in FRP composite, are designed with more insulation than regular constructions. This may affect the fire development, leading to dangerous conditions for occupants and firemen. READ MORE

  4. 3. Java Application for Analysis of Lightweight Constructions in Cruise Vessels

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Erik Hedin; Johannes Lundsten; [2010]
    Keywords : Fire spread; tool; java; analysis; simulation; exhaustive testing; network; sectioning device;

    Abstract : In 2002 an amendment was added to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) which opened up for shipbuilders to replace steel with lightweight materials in the superstructures. However, SOLAS requires equal fire safety compared to ships with steel superstructures. READ MORE
