Assessment of the Structural Fire Performance of Buildings

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard W. Bukowski
The fire-induced collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings 1, 2, and 7 on 11 September 2001 demonstrated the need for engineering methods to predict the structural fire performance of buildings when subjected to arbitrary design fires and to

Benefits and Costs of Research: A Case Study of Fire Dynamics Simulation

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Barbara C. Lippiatt
The Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS) research program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has produced software that simulates fire spread and the response of a given sprinkler system. At the request of warehouse property owners, the

Calculations of the Energy of Mixing Carbon Nanotubes With Polymers

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Marc R. Nyden, Stanislav Stoliarov
A method for estimating the free energy of mixing CNTs with polymers is presented. The formation of the nanocomposite is analyzed in terms of a simple path in which the nanotubes are exfoliated from a bundle and dispersed in a distorted polymer with
