Fire Safety Aspects of Polymeric Materials. Volume 10. Mines and Bunkers

Abstract

This volume in the series on the Fire Safety Aspects of Polymeric Materials focuses on the fire safety aspects of natural and synthetic polymeric materials prevailing or constituting the substance of mines and bunkers. The methodology of fire scenario development is described and mine fire scenarios are presented. Fire dynamics and the materials used in mines are then critically reviewed. Design criteria for mines, mine equipment, and mine fire detection and suppression systems are examined in detail and smoke and toxicity hazards are identified. Conclusions are drawn and appropriate recommendations are set forth.
