Building Hints - APA
https://www.apawood.org/building-hints... [General Information] [Web Page] APA These general hints will help you achieve the best possible results in working with APA wood structural panel products. They apply not only to this plan but to all projects you may undertake using APA trademarked panels. When using a portable power saw, the best side of the panel should be down. For prolonged cutting of nonveneer panels and those containing layers of reconstituted wood, a carbide-tipped blade is suggested. Reduce panel to pieces small enough for easy handling with first cuts. O... |

Fire Risk Analysis of Combustible and Non-combustible Mid-rise Residential Build
https://curve.carleton.ca/b0deab1f-c523-4567-913d-... [Fire Performance] [Thesis/Dissertation] 2014 Ping Rao Life safety and property protection are the two main objectives of a performance-based design. At Carleton University in Canada, a quantitative fire risk analysis computer model CUrisk is being developed to evaluate the fire risk levels in mid-rise buildings. By using this model, this thesis evaluated the fire safety in multi-storey buildings with different building construction materials, heights and floor areas. The CUrisk Evacuation submodel is compared with other methods including the Pathfi... |
