A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The purpose of this paper is to describe on-going smoke research in the United States that is applicable to the problem of detection of unwanted fires while minimizing false alarms. The characteristics and short comings of several types of fire warning devices are discussed briefly. This is followed by a review of current U.S. basic research on the properties of smokes as affected by aging, the materials burned, smoldering vs flaming combustion, and other factors. The paper is prepared for presentation to a Japanese - U.S. Panel to facilitate continued Japanese - U.S. scientific cooperation in this field.
