Fire Safety Engineering - Measures, Policies, and Applications: Measures, Policies, and Applications (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780850148299)

Talking about fire safety engineering is relatively common for many different reasons. Motivation can be easily found in the various tasks that fall under such a general expression. Fire safety engineering denotes, in fact, the well-known practice of designing and installing systems, building components and/or structures that are able to prevent and reduce the risk of fire, minimizing the hazard for people and property. This primary goal necessarily requires a multidisciplinary strategy and competence to find optimal solutions in the case of a fire. Some experts could be, in fact, involved in fire safety policy measures, others could be asked to provide robust communication technology in case of a fire emergency, while some could give major feedback and innovative technical skills at the level of building materials and systems. All in all, multiple ways and approaches - based on scientific and engineering principles - are implicitly involved in a fire safety engineering task. Five different research contributions are presented in this book project, focusing on communication technologies in the case of a fire emergency, fire safety policy strategies, and design strategies for mitigating the effects of fire in buildings. Their research methodology and results clearly show the relevance and variety of fire safety engineering issues and contribute to a continuously innovating field.
