- Abstract
- This project is being undertaken in response to a request from ODPM Fire Statistics and Research Division (FSRD) to undertake a number of hydraulic calculations on wet and dry risers in high rise buildings. This report provides results of sample calculations using a BRE software package "Riser flow" to calculate water flows in wet and dry risers. The report describes the assumptions made to undertake the calculations and details the results obtained for the specific conditions requested in the contract proposal, "Firefighting in buildings hydraulic calculation in wet and dry risers, hoses and branches".
