| Summary: | This book is an introduction to the fundamentals of safety engineering prepared by a group of the leading fire scientists, engineers and consultants in the UK. It is based on the keynote papers in the innovative postgraduate fire engineering course held at Queen's University, Belfast. This course is unique in being multidisciplinary and bringing together architects in practice, fire prevention officers and building control officers. Design techniques and strategies for each of the key issues in fire engineering are covered and include procedural framework of legislation, fire science, fire communications, human behaviour in fire, means of escape, fire containment and smoke control. The final chapter provides a useful review of relevant legislation, standards and codes of practice as well as sources of information. This book presents the collected views of the leading experts in fire safety engineering and will be invaluable to all those concerned with planning and designing safe buildings. |
