Fire Detection And Human Behaviour

Structural Behaviour in Fire and Real Design

A great deal of understanding into the behaviour of composite steel-concrete structures in fire has been developed since the Cardington frame fire tests (UK) 1990s. This has now been broadened so that structures in fire design has a real engineering basis and is not reliant on results from single element testing in the standard furnace. Several projects involving office buildings in the UK and ...

Social life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size

Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...

Comparison of Techniques for Visualising Fire Behaviour

During every Australian summer fires are common in the south-eastern region of the continent. The combined forces of climate, topography and vegetation make Victoria in particular, one of the most fire prone regions on earth (DSE 2003). Throughout its history, Victoria has seen a number of devastating bushfires, including Black Friday 1939, Ash Wednesday 1983, and more recently in the northeast...

Structural behaviour during a vertically travelling fire

This study considers a multi-storey composite frame subject to a fire which travels vertically between three floors. Previousworkhas analysed the behaviour of this structurewhen subject to simultaneous fires on three floors. It highlighted the importance of the cooling regime adopted and the relative axial stiffness of the steel beams to the overall behaviour of the structure. This paper extend...
