Intumescent coating is often used as a fire protection on steel members due to its attractive appearance and ease of use. In the case when member fully covered by coating, response during can be predicted rather accurately. However, if only partially, member's temperature profile structural are not trivial define. Partially appear e.g. in cases which coated building site, but some previously in...

The economic damage accompanying the fire blight is expressed both in loss of crops and costs associated with uprooting infected trees restoration fruit plantations.  Pear characterized highest rates susceptibility to blight. Development genetically resistant cultivars one crucial aspects managing blight, which would allow foregoing current economically or ecologically unsound methods such...

Introduction: One of the major concerns in laryngeal laser surgery is the risk of airway fire. The introduction ofwrapped tubes and metal tubes has reduced the fire hazards. However, these tubes are expensive and do not provide convenient access to the surgical field. There are few laboratory studies addressing the resistance of polyvinylchloride tubes against ignition in the given circum...

The present thesis deals with the inclusion of fire risk considerations into forest planning in Catalonia (North-East Spain). The first part of the thesis focused on the modeling the susceptibility of different kinds of forest to fire (Studies I, II, III and IV), and the second part on the inclusion of the acquired knowledge about fire risk into forest planning systems (Studies V and VI). The m...

Analyzing the effects of forest fires on sediment dynamics is essential to establish effective mitigation measures reduce risk fire-related disasters, such as landslides, debris flows, and hyperconcentrated flows. The objective this study was investigate temporal trend in landslide occurrences after a fire based statistical data landslides recorded over past two decades. results suggested that ...

Keywords: RAD-NETT Radiation heat transfer Neural network Fire resistance test furnace a b s t r a c t Using RAD-NETT, a neural network correlation of the non-gray radiative absorption properties of combustion gases (CO 2 and H 2 O) and soot, the emissivity and hemispherical absorptivity of a combustion mixture to a boundary in a rectangular enclosure is determined. Results show that the both t...

Passive fire protection is civil engineering discipline which very popular for research and development of new construction products test standards. The primary function passive product to achieve the declared resistance. Fire resistance a expressed as time interval (30 min, 60 90 120 min ...) in certain properties tested are preserved. In given intervals, it necessary maintain thermal insulati...

1. Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the calculation and optimization of a steel frame according to Eurocode 1 and 3 (parts 1.1 and 1.2). A comparison is made using square hollow section (SHS) columns and SHS or rectangular hollow section (RHS) for beams at a pressure vessel supporting frame (Figure 1). Optimizing for fire resistance for a given time it shows the prize of safety, the re...
