The author considers the theoretical aspects of cost-benefit analysis and other relevant economic problems with practical applications to fire protection systems. Clear examples are included to illustrate these techniques in action. The work covers: * the performance and effectiveness of passive fire protection measures such as structural fire resistance and means of escape facilities, and active systems such as sprinklers and detectors * the importance of educating for better understanding and implementation of fire prevention through publicity campaigns and fire brigade operations * cost-benefit analysis of fire protection measures and their combinations, taking into account trade-offs between these measures. The book is essential reading for consultants and academics in construction management, economics and fire safety, as well as for insurance and risk management professionals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ganapathy Ramachandran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0419207805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780419207801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.18w x 0.91d","brand":"Ganapathy Ramachandran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064983728383,"sku":"9780419207801","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22ec6c66-b088-47f3-833f-7f25e0a4f3c8.jpg?v=1768672356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-economics-of-fire-protection-ganapathy-ramachandran-9780419207801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
