- Abstract
- The development of fire science has progressed to a point where an analytical engineering methodology for fire protection design is emerging. Here Mr. Nelson outlines the elements of such a method and provides an example of one facet (of the methodology) and a broad range of references for those interested in deeper examination. This presentation is built on the premise that the state of fire science has now advanced to the point where it is possible to assemble and apply a scientifically based fire protection engineering technology as a useful tool in the building regulatory process.
