from the Chairman
Earlier
this year, I was honoured to receive an invitation to present
a Plenary Lecture at the "2003 International Conference
on Fire Science and Fire Protection" which was held
in Beijing from 12th - 14th Oct. It was organised and hosted
by the China Fire Protection Association (CFPA) and attracted
about 270 delegates, representing eight countries. Several
members of FORUM who had met in Tokyo during the previous
week were in attendance.
The
CFPA is to be the lead organisation responsible for the
8th IAFSS Symposium at Tsinghua University in September
2005. Mr Sun Lun, President of the CFPA, has generously
offered the full support of his staff to ensure that the
event will be of the highest standard. The University of
Science and Technology of China (USTC, Hefei) and Tsinghua
University will be joint co-organisers. It was explained
to me that the CFPA took the decision to hold the conference
in October of this year to give them first-hand experience
in running an international meeting. This alerted them to
a number of issues that would need attention and these have
already been addressed and resolved. One of the most important
was the matter of Visas for delegates attending from outside
China. For me, the 2003 conference served to highlight the
extent of the commitment to Fire Safety Research throughout
China. I was impressed by the range of papers which were
presented at the conference, many of which originated from
the four Fire Research Institutes of China, with strong
representation from the University sector (including USTC)
and other Government research organisations.
The
8th Symposium of Fire Safety Science will provide a timely
opportunity for members of the Chinese fire research community
to network with the IAFSS in a way that has not been possible
before. The timeliness relates to the changes that are taking
place within the country which is undergoing an unprecedented
boom in building and construction. The modern buildings
that are under construction have required the application
of performance based fire safety engineering design, but
there is also a huge number of new buildings being planned.
Fire Safety Engineering in China is developing slowly and
needs to be underpinned by good fire research. The IAFSS
has the opportunity to help and the 2005 Symposium could
and should provide the inspiration for rapid progress to
be made.
About
twenty years ago, Philip Thomas was invited to China by
the China Fire Protection Association. While there, he visited
the Fire Research Institutes and initiated a dialogue “between
east and west” in the best traditions of international
goodwill and cooperation. This was followed by a meeting
of CIB W14 in Chengdu in 1988, which I believe was the first
international fire event to be held in China. The 8th IAFSS
Symposium follows in a natural progression from this meeting
and will be to the benefit of us all. It will provide the
opportunity to those members of the Association who have
not yet had the good fortune to visit China to see this
fascinating country at an exciting time in its development,
while at the same time contributing to their goal of creating
greater levels of fire safety throughout the community.
I
hope that we shall be able to include a short article about
the Chinese Fire Research Institutes in the next newsletter.
They are located Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenzen and Dujiangyan
(near Chengdu in Sichuan Province). The 8th Symposium would
provide international delegates with the opportunity to
visit one or more of the Institutes while they are in China.
In the meantime, further details about the venue for the
symposium may be found at the Tsinghua University website
(www.tsinghua.edu.cn/eng/campuslife). The facilities are
excellent and in addition to accommodation on campus there
are several four and five star hotels nearby.

Plans for the 8th International Symposium
The
8th International Symposium on Fire Safety Science will
be held September 18-23, 2005 in Beijing, China at Tsinghua
University. It will be co-hosted by the China Fire Protection
Association, the University of Science and Technology of
China, and Tsinghua University. A symposium web site has
been created http://2005.china-fire.com and will be updated
on a regular basis.
The
two photographs above are of the conference centre and the
main hall within the conference centre.
A Call for Papers and Posters for the symposium will be
issued early in 2004. Several important steps are being
implemented to facilitate publication of the Proceedings
of the 8th Symposium.
Crucially,
there will be a single address to which all papers and posters
will be submitted electronically: the deadline will be 19th
December 2004. The Chairman of the Programme Committee,
Dr Craig Beyler, will assume responsibility for directing
each paper to the relevant member of the Programme Committee.
He/she in turn will select at least two referees and set
a strict deadline for returning their comments to the committee
member. The Programme Committee will then meet to select
papers and posters for presentation at the Symposium. The
authors will be informed by 15th May 2005 at the latest,
when they will also receive the reviewers’ comments.
The author(s) will then have the responsibility of revising
the paper, casting it in the required format and resubmitting
it by mid-August 2005, i.e. one month before the Symposium.
This will be a requirement for the appearance of the paper
in the proceedings.
For each of the previous symposia, there has been a separate
Publications Committee, the Chair of which has taken over
at a relatively late stage in the process. This will be
changed. The person in charge of the publication of the
Proceedings will be intimately involved from the time that
papers are submitted and will play an increasingly interactive
role to ensure speedy and efficient publication.
This
procedure is modelled on the one used successfully by the
Combustion Institute for their biennial meetings. We will
adopt their best practice, such as approaching potential
reviewers well in advance of the submission date (December
2004) informing them that we will be seeking their assistance
in the review process. This will alert them to the importance
of what we are asking them to do and, perhaps more importantly,
give them due warning of the task ahead.
We
will also put in place a system that allows the Programme
Chair to oversee the entire process and make sure that deadlines
are met. With early submission of papers in the required
format, there is no reason why the Proceedings cannot be
out within three or four months of the Symposium.

IAFSS Awards for Excellence
in Research
A
preliminary announcement in the last newsletter gave some
details of the IAFSS plans to make awards for the best research
dissertations which have been successfully defended during
the three year period from 1st August 2001 to 31st July
2004. There will be three such awards, one for each of the
three IAFSS regions, Asia and Australasia, Europe and Africa,
and the Americas. The successful candidates will be invited
to present papers at the 8th IAFSS Symposium in Beijing
in September 2005. Grants of £1000 will be awarded
to cover the costs associated with attending the Symposium.
The objective is to encourage young scientists to enter
the field of fire safety science and to participate at an
international level.
Dissertations
at PhD and Masters levels will be considered, but only one
may be submitted from each University or Institute. The
preliminary selection must be carried out locally, by the
Head of Department, or his or her equivalent, to ensure
that only the very best theses are submitted to the Association
for consideration. Submission by a student cannot be considered.
The work should be submitted in English. If the dissertation
has to be in another language, a substantial English summary
must be provided. Each dissertation should be sent electronically
(pdf format) to the Chairman of the Awards Committee, Professor
Mario Fontana. The deadline for submission is 30th August
2004.
The
submissions will be considered by regional sub-committees
chaired respectively by Professor Fontana (Europe and Africa),
Professor Pagni (the Americas) and Professor Hirano (Asia
and Australasia). It is important to meet the submission
deadline as it is planned to announce the winners by the
end of January 2005 at the latest. This should give the
winners sufficient time to prepare their papers for inclusion
in the Symposium Proceedings.
We
intend announcing these awards as widely as possible within
the fire research community. Graduates, or potential graduates,
who meet the conditions outlined above and wish to be considered
for an award should speak to their research supervisors.
Any student defending his or her thesis after 1st August
2004 will be eligible for consideration for an award at
the 9th Symposium which is to be held in Karlsruhe in 2008.
In
the first instance, a letter of intent should be sent to
the Chairman of the Awards Committee, Professor Mario Fontana
to whom all initial queries should be addressed to the following
email: fontana@ibk.baug.ethz.ch

MEng/BEng
in Structural and Fire Safety Engineering at Edinburgh University
New
MEng/BEng programmes are now available at the University
of Edinburgh. They commenced at the beginning of the current
academic year and take advantage of the expertise of the
Academic Staff of the Civil and Environmental Engineering
Discipline within the School of Engineering and Electronics.
The Structures and the Fire Safety Engineering Groups have
a long tradition of research and innovation at Edinburgh,
encompassing steel, concrete and masonry construction on
the one hand and compartment fire dynamics, fire protection
systems and fire safety design on the other. They have combined
successfully in the past in major research initiatives and
in teaching Structural Fire Safety as a final year module.
The
joint courses consolidate these interests to provide the
first Fire Safety Engineering degrees which are firmly rooted
in one of the best-established Engineering disciplines.
This is unique and will ensure that the graduates have developed
the essential skills and attitudes that are essential in
any Engineering discipline. They will have the potential
to contribute to the design, construction and management
of the large, prestigious buildings of the future

Tokyo University of Science: 21st Century Centre of Excellence
The Japanese Government is promoting a plan to form research
centres capable of competing with the world’s best
by concentrating national funding for centre formation support
grants in a limited number of postgraduate schools and affiliated
research institutions with proven records. The
scheme is referred to as the 21st century Centre of Excellence
(COE) Programme. A programme of Tokyo University of Science
called “A Center for Advanced Fire Safety Science
and Technology for Building” has passed its rigorous
review and approved as a part of the 21st century COE program
With
this view in mind, we sincerely ask teachers and researchers
working for universities and research institutions in Japan
as well as overseas universities and institutions to extend
their kind cooperation and help us fulfil the objective
of the COE. Moreover, we will employ additional teachers
with tenure and temporary researchers, and invite visiting
professors and researchers with tenure from overseas major
universities and research institutions to enhance and enrich
research and teaching systems at the centre. To be more
specific, Tokyo University of Science will officially sign
collaborative research agreements with overseas major universities
and research institutions so that both universities and
research institutions will work together on research (physical
and chemical phenomenon of fire, fire statistics, fire risk,
human behaviour in fire, etc.) and educational projects.
With such background, we will work for the establishment
of collaborative research and education activities and the
development of an international research information network.

| UPTUN:
Upgrading Methods for Fire Safety in Existing Tunnels
In
the European transportation network, tunnels are among the
key elements. Due to the strong increase of traffic and
the growing transport of dangerous goods, the safety level
in most existing tunnels has decreased considerably. In
addition, some accidents in recent years have drawn widespread
public attention to the risks of fires in tunnels.
Upgrading the safety level in existing tunnels has become
a widespread necessity to contribute to the development
of sustainable transportation systems, needed in a healthy
European economy. In the upgrading process, fire safety
has to be looked upon in an integral and holistic way, taking
into account all relevant aspects such as probability of
incidents, consequences of fires, human response, structural
response, emergency response teams, and tunnel operators.
Responding to this necessity the UPTUN-project has been
set up with the financial support of the European Commission.
The main objectives of the UPTUN project are:
•
Development of innovative technologies and assessment of
existing technologies for upgrading the safety level of
existing tunnels. The focus is on technologies in the areas
of detection and monitoring, mitigating measures, influencing
human response, and protection against structural damage.
The main output is a set of innovative cost-effective technologies.
•
Development, demonstration and promotion of procedures for
rational safety level evaluation, including decision support
models, and knowledge transfer. The main output is a risk-based
evaluating and upgrading model.
To achieve these objectives, the UPTUN consortium has been
built of 41 partners from 17 European countries, covering
all relevant expertise, with sufficient mass and impact
to ensure adoption of UPTUN results throughout Europe. The
work of the UPTUN consortium started in September 2002 and
is scheduled to finish in August 2006. It is divided into
7 technical work packages (WP):
WP 1 Prevention, detection and monitoring
WP 2 Fire development and mitigation measures
WP 3 Human response
WP 4 Fire effect & tunnel performance: system structural
response
WP 5 Evaluation of safety levels and upgrading of existing
tunnels
WP 6 Fire effects and tunnel performance: system response
WP 7 Promotion, dissemination, education/training, and socio-economic
impact
The first four WP’s are to increase insight about
fires in tunnels, to develop new measures to reduce the
probability of their occurrence and to mitigate their consequences.
The fifth and sixth work-packages are mainly focussing on
the development of the innovative integral upgrading approach.
The last work-package is to promote and disseminate the
results.
In the symposium Safe & Reliable Tunnels three major
European projects about tunnel safety, UPTUN, DARTS and
FIT, will join forces to disseminate results and discuss
ongoing developments. The symposium will be held from 4-6
February 2004 in Prague. It will address all aspects related
to the design, construction, maintenance, and upgrading
of tunnels, including human behaviour and hazards.

CSIRO: Full-scale fire experiments on a passenger rail carriage
CSIRO
Fire Science and Technology Laboratories (Australia) recently
conducted a series of full-scale fire experiments on a passenger
rail carriage in collaboration with Queensland Fire and
Rescue Services and Queensland Rail.
Experiments included a series of tests at one carriage end
investigating fire growth and spread on seating and lining
materials resulting from different ignition sources. The
final experiment involved the whole carriage with at least
half the carriage fitted out to represent a typical Australian
passenger rail vehicle. The aim was to develop an understanding
of how fires develop and spread in trains and to use this
to produce more realistic models of train fires. The carriage
was fitted out with at least 130 instruments including thermocouples,
radiometers, flow probes and gas analysis equipment.
CSIRO is currently analysing the experimental data and hope
to produce a report and papers early in the new year. This
forms part of an ongoing CSIRO research effort in this area.

Report on 4th International Seminar on Fire and Explosion
Hazards
The
4th International Seminar on Fire and Explosion Hazards
(ISFEH) was organised by the University of Ulster in Londonderry
7-12 September 2003. The first two seminars had been held
in Moscow in 1995 and 1997, and the third in Lake Windermere,
England in 2000. It seems that the Irish version with a
Russian tint was the most successful. The biggest ever number
of 170 participants from 25 countries worldwide joined this
recognised international gathering. The Seminar brought
together researchers and international experts working on
the underlying science and technology associated with fire
and explosion hazards.
Papers presented at the Seminar addressed advances in fire
and explosion sciences, and the application of scientific
principles to prevent and mitigate the adverse effects of
accidental fires and explosions. 107 high quality presentations
were given during the Seminar in three parallel sessions,
including 7 invited (plenary) lectures from world experts
in fire, explosion and combustion. Papers covered a wide
range of topics including fire dynamics, compartment fire
modelling, CFD modelling of fires and explosions, chemical
processes in fires and lessons learned from case studies.
The programme had a good balance of papers addressing theoretical,
experimental and computational topics.
The International Steering Committee has decided that the
5th ISFEH will be held in 2006 at the University of Edinburgh.
