Revised and significantly expanded, the fifth edition of this classic
work offers both new and substantially updated information. As the
definitive reference on fire protection engineering, this book
provides thorough treatment of the current best practices in fire
protection engineering and performance-based fire safety. Over 130
eminent fire engineers and researchers contributed chapters to the
book, representing universities and professional organizations around
the world. It remains the indispensible source for reliable coverage
of fire safety engineering fundamentals, fire dynamics, hazard
calculations, fire risk analysis, modeling and more. With seventeen
new chapters and over 1,800 figures, the this new edition contains:
Step-by-step equations that explain engineering calculations
Comprehensive revision of the coverage of human behavior in fire,
including several new chapters on egress system design, occupant
evacuation scenarios, combustion toxicity and data for human behavior
analysis Revised fundamental chapters for a stronger sense of
context Added chapters on fire protection system selection and
design, including selection of fire safety systems, system activation
and controls and CO2 extinguishing systems Recent advances in fire
resistance design Addition of new chapters on industrial fire
protection, including vapor clouds, effects of thermal radiation on
people, BLEVEs, dust explosions and gas and vapor explosions New
chapters on fire load density, curtain walls, wildland fires and
vehicle tunnels Essential reference appendices on conversion
factors, thermophysical property data, fuel properties and combustion
data, configuration factors and piping properties “Three-volume set;
