1. 26. Utilizing Research to Enhance Fire Service Knowledge

   Författare :Stephen Kerber; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fire dynamics; fire service; fire safety engineering; firefighting; firefighter safety;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the fire service workplace through full-scale experiments. Evidence-based information has been developed to be combined with firefighter experience to improve their knowledge of fire dynamics and the cause and effect impact of their tactics on life safety, property conservation, and incident stabilization.

3. 27. Cost-Benefit Analysis of Separation Distances - a utility-based approach to risk management decision-making

   Författare :Martin Kylefors; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; decision-making; cost-benefit; Risk management; land use planning; risk analysis; separation distance;

   Sammanfattning : Decision-making in risk management reflects a normative choice of approach. This dissertation is concerned with the possibility of putting the decision in focus by employing an optimum decision criterion within a utility-based approach. LÄS MER

4. 28. Non-career firefighters in rural areas - Exploring aspects contributing to retention

   Författare :Emelie Lantz; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Räddningstjänst; Brandman; Deltidsbrandman; Engagemang; Fire and Rescue Service; Firefighter; Part-time Firefighter; Retention; Commitment; Non-career Firefighter;

   Sammanfattning : The overarching aim of this licentiate thesis is to increase knowledge about the implications of working as a non-career firefighter in order to understand how challenges and commitment affect retention. Retention of non-career firefighters (for example volunteer or part-time firefighters) is a well-known, multifaceted challenge in several countries. LÄS MER

5. 29. Fires in Narrow Construction Cavities : Fire Dynamics and Material Fire Performance

   Författare :Karlis Livkiss; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fire; Ventilated façade; flame height; Stone wool; expanded polystyrene; Fire Dynamics Simulator FDS ;

   Sammanfattning : There have recently been devastating fire incidents related to fire spread over ventilated façades. These incidents indicate gaps in our understanding of the fire behaviour of façades. This thesis takes a bottom-up approach to investigating fire behaviour in materials and elements associated with narrow cavities in modern constructions. LÄS MER

7. 30. Model Uncertainty in Fire Safety Engineering

   Författare :Johan Lundin; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Summary: Traditionally, fire safety has often been addressed with methods based on prescriptive recommendations. The opportunity to use an alternative analytical approach has led to the development of fire safety engineering, beginning with structural fire safety design in the 1960's and today including fire safety design and fire risk analysis in general.
