Fire Laboratory Tests - Effects of Barrier Integrity and Fire Ventilation on Shelter Habitability.

Abstract

The report covers experiments conducted with a shelter fire experimental facility during 1973. The facility exposes a 20 by 30 ft instrumented basement shelter to overhead debris fires representative of various building occupancies and degrees of blast damage. Poorly ventilated debris fires are shown to create more severe shelter heating than equivalent fuel loads having access to larger amounts of air. (Modified author abstract)
