KuTenk 2000 - SFIR253402-SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering, Third Edition

by Philip J. DiNenno (ed)

2002 (1616 pages)

ISBN:0877654514

Underscored by the rapid assimilation of performance-based design in fire protection, this handbook is a contribution toward documenting and integrating the theoretical and applied bases of fire safety engineering.
