A Cold Climate Wooden Home and Conflagration Danger Index: Justification and Practicability for Norwegian Conditions
Strand, Ruben Dobler; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The vast majority of fire-related deaths occur in residential buildings. Until recently, the fire risk for these buildings was only considered through static risk assessments or period-based assessments applying to certain ... -
Development and evaluation of a predictive fire risk modelling and notification system for wooden homes
Strand, Ruben Dobler (Doctoral thesis, 2024)Accidents involving fire result in more than 300,000 deaths annually, with statistics suggesting residential fires causing above 80 % of the fire-related deaths. While these numbers differ somewhat in their statistical ... -
Fire Risk Prediction Using Cloud-based Weather Data Services
Strand, Ruben Dobler; Stokkenes, Sindre; Kristensen, Lars Michael; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Dry and cold winter seasons result in very dry indoor conditions and have historically contributed to severe fires in the high and dense representation of wooden homes in Norway. The fire in Lærdalsøyri, January 2014, is ... -
Formal Specification and Validation of a Data-driven Software System for Fire Risk Prediction
Strand, Ruben Dobler; Kristensen, Lars Michael; Petrucci, Laure (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Long periods of dry and cold weather conditions significantly increase fire risks for wooden buildings. Recent advances in predictive fire risk models combined with publicly available cloud-based weather data services have ... -
An implementation, evaluation and validation of a dynamic fire and conflagration risk indicator for wooden homes
Strand, Ruben Dobler; Kristensen, Lars Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The pervasive presence of IoT sensing devices combined with advances in cloud-based services has made historical- and forecast weather data services widely available for use in smart software systems. The contribution of ... -
Numerical analysis of fire-driven smoke plumes in the atmosphere
Strand, Ruben Dobler (Master thesis, 2017)Plumes originating from fires may serve as a risk for people and environmental safety. Depending on what fuels a fire the content of the plume will vary [1]. From simple carbonaceous soot particulates, known to cause ... -
Tilgjengelig rømningstid som funksjon av røyklags-høyde
Lyche, Nichlas; Strand, Ruben Dobler (Bachelor thesis, 2015-07-30)Denne oppgaven handler om estimering av tilgjengelig rømningstid, kun basert på røyklagshøyden. Oppgaven skal finne tid til kritisk røyklagshøyde i en to-sone modell basert på anerkjente akseptkriterier for røyklagshøyde, ... -
Validation of a Predictive Fire Risk Indication Model using Cloud-based Weather Data Services
Stokkenes, Sindre; Strand, Ruben Dobler; Kristensen, Lars Michael; Log, Torgrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The high and dense representation of wooden homes in Norway, combined with periods of dry and cold climate during the winter season resulting in very dry indoor conditions, have historically resulted in severe fires. Thus, ...
