This FRS report collects together 'the cream' of the research papers of Philip Thomas whose contribution to fire science from 1951 until his retirement in 1986 is renowned in Europe, the Far East and North America. Taken together, the papers represent an important step forward in fire research.

Fire Research Station 1951-1986 Selected Papers: (BR 80) (Bre Report)

Thomas, P. H.

Describes a survey of routine housing, commercial and public buildings up to four storeys in height, and light industrial buildings. The report indicates aspects of existing good practice which should be more widely adopted and problems for which improved design procedures are needed.

A Review of Routine Foundation Design Practice: (BR 104)

Roscoe, G.H.

This report describes the performance of electrically driven air-to-water heat pumps in domestic systems. It is based on the results of full and part-load assessments at BRE and at trial installations; it also considers the economics of heat pump purchase and operation, alternative heat sources and types of heat pump.

Domestic Heat Pumps: Performance and Economics: (BR 126) (Building Research Establishment Report)

Grigg, P.

Establishes guidelines for the construction of fire-resisting structural elements and includes tables of notional periods of fire resistance based on current test data; it also makes revisions to tables and text concerning concrete, masonry and timber included in the earlier 1982 edition.

Based on the findings of a comprehensive survey of underpinning practice, the report gives guidance on: how to determine that a foundation problem exists and the need for underpinning; how to recognise the circumstances in which underpinning is appropriate; how to conduct a site investigation; the scope and depth of underpinning; and how to choose which type of underpinning to adopt.

Foundation Movement and Remedial Underpinning in Low-Rise Buildings: (BR 184)

Design Principles for Smoke Ventilation in Enclosed Shopping Centres: (BR 186)

Morgan, H.P.

This FRS report describes different methods for calculating adequate space separation between buildings, in support of Approved Document B of the Building regulations for England and Wales. Part 1 describes the Enclosing rectangle and Aggregate notional area methods. Part 2 describes the basis of the methods given in Part 1.
