Measurement Needs for Fire Safety: Proceedings of an International Workshop. Heldon April 4-6, 2000

摘要

At the twelfth meeting of the FORUM for International Cooperation in FireResearch, held in Garston, England, the members agreed to convene a workshop focused on improving their capabilities in science-based fire measurements. Such measurements are at the heart of what the member organizations of the FORUM do. Whether they be inputs for fire models, fire characterization parameters for model validation, material or product fire performance, each requires careful quantification as a basis for further progress in this field. In the following pages, the authors have summarized the sense of the presentations in the various sessions of the Workshop and also the range of ideas which arose in the discussions following the presentations.
