Produktinformationen zu „Principles of Fire Risk Assessment in Buildings (PDF)“
This book arrives at just the right time to facilitate
understanding of performance-based fire risk assessment in
buildings - an integral part of the global shift in policy
away from traditional prescriptive codes.
Yung, an internationally recognised expert on the subject of
fire risk assessment, introduces the basic principles and
techniques that help the reader to understand the various
methodologies that are currently in place or being proposed by
different organisations. Through his illustration of basic
principles and techniques he enables the reader to conduct their
own fire risk assessments. He demonstrates how the probabilities of
fire scenarios are assessed based on the probabilities of success
and failure of fire protection measures that are in place. He also
shows how the consequences of fire scenarios are assessed based on
the intensity and speed of fire and smoke spread, the
probability and speed of occupant response and evacuation, and the
effectiveness and speed of fire department response and rescue
efforts.
Yung's clear and practical approach to this highly topical
subject enables the reader to integrate the various tools available
into a quantitative framework that can be used for decision making.
He brings an invaluable resource to all those involved in fire
engineering and risk assessment, including students, academics,
building designers, fire protection engineers, structural
engineers, regulators and risk analysts.

Autoren-Porträt von David Yung
David Yung is currently the President of his own consulting company, Yung & Associates Inc. He has worked in fire research and fire risk assessment for over 20 years. From 2002 to 2006, he was Research Leader of Fire Science at the Australian national research organization CSIRO in Sydney, Australia. Before that, he was a Senior Research Officer and Group Leader of Fire Risk Assessment for 17 years at the National Research Council Canada (NRCC) in Ottawa. He led a team that developed one of the world's comprehensive fire risk-cost assessment models, called FiRECAM. Before joining the fire research group at NRCC in 1985, he spent seven years at the Argonne National Laboratory in the USA, and three years at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory and NRCC, conducting nuclear and solar energy research.The author's work is mentioned in the book History of Fire Protection Engineering, published in 2003 by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) in the USA. He is a member of the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Risk Assessment Methods. In September 2003, he was given the 'Hats Off' award by SFPE for his service as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering. In May 2001, he was elected a Fellow of the SFPE for his achievement in fire protection engineering. He has over 100 publications in fire, nuclear and solar energy, and desalination and water purification. He serves on the editorial boards of three major international fire journals and is the past Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering.He holds a B.Eng. from McGill University, an M.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. from MIT, all in mechanical engineering. In addition, he is a licensed professional engineer in the Province of Ontario, Canada and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
