Synopsis
Based on the successful course which the author has been teaching for some years at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, this text shows engineers how they can build fire protection into their products, whether they are dealing with an engineering plant, machine, building or its contents. Covering general considerations which relate to the application of all fire protection engineering, the text also examines specific problem areas such as warehousing, storage of flammable liquids, and the safety of electrical equipment and computers. Features include:
- Presentation of the latest research in the field, such as the protection of cabling from fire
- Offers full international coverage, giving reference to European as well as American codes and standards
- A variety of up-to-date and international case studies, making this text as relevant to the practitioner as well as the academic sector
- Addresses problems in a manner that is practical and immediately relevant

About the Author
Robert G. Zalosh is the author of Industrial Fire Protection Engineering, published by Wiley.
From the Back Cover
In today's modern and ever-changing industrial business environment we can no longer presume that industrial firesafety can be achieved through common sense and enforcement of prescriptive codes and standards. The complexities of modern industry require a more effective approach to firesafety.
This book describes how fire scenario analyses can be conducted for various types of industrial installations. The analyses involve a combination of test data, loss experience and simplified theoretical modeling. This approach shows how engineers can build fire protection into their products, whether they are dealing with an engineering plant, machine, building or its contents.
Covering general considerations that relate to the application of all fire protection engineering, the text also examines specific problem areas such as warehousing, storage of flammable liquids and safety of electrical equipment and computers. Valuable features include:
- Presentation of the latest research in the field such as the protection of cabling from fire
- Full international coverage, giving reference to European as well as American codes and standards
- A variety of up-to-date and international case studies, making this text relevant to the practitioner as well as the academic sector.
