Work with the essential desk reference for all engineers and engineering students, architects, and system designers involved in fire protection.
In the six years since the last edition of SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering was published, major changes have occurred in the world of fire protection engineering and performance-based fire safety. That's why an up-to-date copy of this trusted text should be the cornerstone of your technical library.
More than 10 all-new chapters, including:
Flammable Liquid Spill Fires
Water Mist Systems
Introduction to Fire Risk Analysis
Uncertainty and Safety Factors, and more
Updated and expanded with the latest facts.
Written by fire scientists and engineers from around the world, this third-edition Handbook presents critical new developments and data in all chapters. For example:
Significant new material on egress and human behavior, CFD modeling and risk assessment is vital for those involved in preparing and reviewing performance-based designs.
The section on radiative exposure calculations has been completely rewritten to form an integrated methodology following an SFPE consensus view of the subject...and more.
Conveniently organized into five sections that cover all the bases, the Handbook features a new design plus extensive index and chapter references that will save hours of research.
