Full course description
Compartment Fires and Fire Resistance (this is not a self-paced course)
November 18 – 29, 2024
This course teaches the development of compartment fires with consideration of the roles of fuel and ventilation on fire growth, temperatures and fire duration. The limits of compartment fire theory are highlighted alongside origins, intent and limits of the fire resistance framework.
