Building Physics : Heat, Ventilation, Moisture, Light, Sound, Fire, and Urban Microclimate
Presents the theoretical background of building physics, dealing with the evaluation of physical phenomena related to heat transfer and energy use in buildings, water and water vapour transfer in building structures, daylighting and electric lighting of buildings, sound transmission in building structures and protection against noise, the occurrence and spread of fires in buildings and the thermal response of cities. It contains numerical and computational evaluation methods, numerous computational case studies and examples of experimental analyses. The book demonstrates that the considered physical processes affect the quality of living and working comfort in indoor and outdoor environment.
Behaviour and design of steel and composite connections in fire
The only dedicated book on fire performance of connections in steel and composite structures. Recent experimental and numerical studies indicate that connections are among the most vulnerable and critical parts of these structures. This book synthesises these research findings and explains the essential features in one single source.
Basics fire safety
It consists of measures to prevent fires from starting, to facilitate the rescue of individuals in a burning building, and to help firefighters contain a blaze. The book explains the general concepts and fundamental issues of fire safety in building design beyond the particulars of local building regulations
