Download or read book Brannigan s Building Construction for the Fire Service written by Francis Brannigan and published by Jones & Bartlett Publishers. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brannigan’s Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition is a must read for fire fighters, prospective fire fighters, and fire science students. This edition continues the Brannigan tradition of using plain language to describe technical information about different building types and their unique hazards. This text ensures that critical fire fighting information is easy-to-understand and gives valuable experience to fire fighters before stepping onto the fireground. The first edition of Building Construction for the Fire Service was published in 1971. Frank Brannigan was compelled to write the most comprehensive building construction text for the fire service so that he could save fire fighters’ lives. His passion for detail and extensive practical experience helped him to develop the most popular text on the market. His motto of: “Know your buildings,” informs every aspect of this new edition of the text. Listen to a Podcast with Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition co-author Glenn Corbett to learn more about this training program! Glenn discusses his relationship with the late Frank Brannigan, the dangers of heavy construction timber, occupancy specific hazards, and other areas of emphasis within the Fourth Edition.

Download or read book Guidelines for the Construction of Fire resisting Structural Elements written by W. A. Morris and published by Bre Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of fire resistance tests carried out on many different types of constructions Have been published by the Fire Research Station, the Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) and by the Fire Protection Association (FPA). Much information is also readily available from manufacturers, trade organisations and specialist contractors in the fire field. Nevertheless, a need remains for simple generic descriptions of fire-resisting elements. This report sets down guidelines for the fire resistance of elements of structure and includes tables of notional periods of fire resistance based on a consideration of current test data and information. Recent changes made in the formulation of premixed lightweight plasters and work completed on the revisions to BS 476: Part 8 and the British Standard Codes of practice concerning concrete, masonry and timber constructions has necessitated revising both the text and tables of the 1982 edition which is now withdrawn. It is intended to revise the tables as new information becomes available.

Download or read book Fire Behavior and Fire Protection in Timber Buildings written by Roza Aseeva and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes fire behavior and fire protection of timbers in outdoors and indoors application mainly in construction industry. The Authors’ novel approach considers the relationship between various species and age of timbers and its fire behavior at different thermal and fire loads. Quantitative data of ignition speed and flame propagation as well as generation of heat, smoke and toxic products are discussed. Analysis of fire resistance of various types of building materials based on timber of different species as well as the novel data on the effect of natural and accelerated aging of timbers on its fire behavior are discussed. The main practical methods of fire protection of new and ancient timber buildings and structures to increase its fire resistance are considered. The book should be useful for a wide range of readers: chemists, physicists, material scientists, architects, engineers, constructors and restorers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition Andrew H. Buchanan, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Anthony K. Abu, University of Canterbury, New Zealand A practical and informative guide to structural fire engineering This book presents a comprehensive overview of structural fire engineering. An update on the first edition, the book describes new developments in the past ten years, including advanced calculation methods and computer programs. Further additions include: calculation methods for membrane action in floor slabs exposed to fires; a chapter on composite steel-concrete construction; and case studies of structural collapses. The book begins with an introduction to fire safety in buildings, from fire growth and development to the devastating effects of severe fires on large building structures. Methods of calculating fire severity and fire resistance are then described in detail, together with both simple and advanced methods for assessing and designing for structural fire safety in buildings constructed from structural steel, reinforced concrete, or structural timber. Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers, structural engineers and building officials, and it will be useful for many others including architects, code writers, building designers, and firefighters. Key features: • Updated references to current research, as well as new end-of-chapter questions and worked examples. •Authors experienced in teaching, researching, and applying structural fire engineering in real buildings. • A focus on basic principles rather than specific building code requirements, for an international audience. An essential guide for structural engineers who wish to improve their understanding of buildings exposed to severe fires and an ideal textbook for introductory or advanced courses in structural fire engineering.
