SMOKE TESTS IN NEW LAW COURTS BUILDING

Butcher, E.G. and Hall, M., 1971. SMOKE TESTS IN NEW LAW COURTS BUILDING. Fire Research Notes 889


ABSTRACT

The system of pressurization which forms part of the smoke control arrangements in the New Law Courts Building is described. The results of smoke tests carried out in the building show that the pressurization not only prevents smoke penetrating to the two staircases but also acts to clear smoke which has been allowed to penetrate into the lobbies.
