... The Problem The previous studies in this series 32, 3 have indicated that in most areas sufficient ho.3ing can be found for the homeless within 40 to 60 miles, with a reasonable overcrowding factor of about three (i.e., three times as many people per housing unit as the normal occupancy). However, a large proportion of the housing will require decontamination to permit early occup %ncy. ...

... I ett mångårigt arbete sammanfattas forskningen som skedde ungefär under perioden 1950 -1970 med avseende på erforderligt släckvattenflöde. Sammanställningen baseras på forskning utförd av bland andra Lloyd-Layman (1950), Thomas & Smart (1954), Thomas & Smart (1954), Thomas (1959), Rasbash (1962), Fry & Lustig (1963) samt Salzberg, Vodvarka & Maatman (1970). Denna tidiga forskning bygger i stor utsträckning på statistiska undersökningar och pekar på att -2 l/min/m 2 är den kritiska påföringshastigheten för att få kontroll av rumsbränder -3.7 l/min/m 2 kan anses vara den minsta effektiva påföringshastigheten -5 l/min/m 2 kan anses vara den generellt optimala påföringshastigheten -Vid verkliga bränder kan 4 l/min/m 2 anses vara optimalt för ett rum -Vid verkliga bränder kan 6 l/min/m 2 anses vara optimalt för två rum -För kommersiella byggnader (affärer, kontor, mm) om 50 -100 m 2 , kan 6.5 l/min/m 2 anses vara optimal påföringshastighet. ...
