Book excerpt: The Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering extends the tradition of the comprehensive treatment of smoke control technology, including fundamental concepts, smoke control systems, and methods of analysis. The handbook provides information needed for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. It is also extremely useful for practicing engineers, architects, code officials, researchers, and students. Following the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this new book incorporates the latest research and advances in smoke control practice. New topics in the handbook are: controls, fire and smoke control in transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified instructions with examples. This is the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world. Systems discussed in the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. The latest smoke control research and most current engineering approaches are also included. Unique to previous smoke control literature, this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers prevent smoke damage.

Download or read book Smoke Control in Buildings Strategies Systems and Solutions written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoke control in buildings is an essential aspect of modern fire safety engineering, playing a critical role in protecting lives, preserving property, and ensuring the continuity of operations during fire incidents. The complexity and significance of effectively managing smoke movement within various building types demand a comprehensive understanding of both fundamental principles and advanced technologies. The genesis of this book lies in the increasing recognition of the challenges posed by smoke during fires, not only to the occupants but also to the firefighters and emergency responders. Smoke, often the leading cause of fatalities in fires, can obscure visibility, impede evacuation, and cause significant health hazards due to its toxic components. As such, it is imperative for engineers, architects, designers, and safety professionals to be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to design, implement, and maintain effective smoke control systems. "Smoke Control in Buildings: Strategies, Systems, and Solutions" is meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application. This book aims to serve as a comprehensive guide, offering insights into the physics of smoke, the design and implementation of various smoke control systems, and the integration of these systems within the broader context of building design and fire safety strategies. In the initial chapters, we delve into the foundational principles of smoke behavior and movement, providing readers with a solid grounding in the subject. This is followed by an exploration of the different types of smoke control systems—passive, active, and hybrid—highlighting their respective advantages, limitations, and applications. We also discuss the crucial aspects of designing these systems, taking into account performance objectives, regulatory requirements, and the intricacies of system integration. Advanced computational tools and methods form a significant part of modern smoke control strategies. Therefore, a dedicated chapter is provided to familiarize readers with the latest fire and smoke modeling software, complemented by real-world case studies that illustrate the practical application of these tools. Furthermore, we address the importance of proper installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of smoke control systems throughout their lifecycle. The inclusion of diverse case studies offers a pragmatic view of smoke control challenges and solutions across different building types, from high-rise structures to underground spaces and public assembly venues. These examples serve to contextualize theoretical knowledge, providing readers with valuable lessons drawn from real-world scenarios. Looking ahead, we explore emerging trends and technological innovations that are shaping the future of smoke control. The integration of smart building technologies and the evolving landscape of standards and regulations are examined to prepare readers for upcoming developments in the field. This book is the result of extensive research and collaboration with experts in fire safety engineering, architecture, and building services. It is intended to be a valuable resource for professionals and students alike, offering both a thorough understanding of smoke control principles and practical guidance for their application. We hope that "Smoke Control in Buildings: Strategies, Systems, and Solutions" will inspire and equip you to enhance fire safety in buildings, ultimately contributing to the protection of life and property in our built environment.

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.
