Collaborator: Fire Risk Management, Inc., Bath, ME
Subject: The overall objective for this cooperative research effort is
to investigate and evaluate a number of potential alternative ship/marine platform
design approaches, with regards to both the use of new or alternative construction
materials and also the application of alternative fire protective measures, as compared
to those currently addressed by the various prescriptive codes and design guidelines;
IMO, CFR, ABS, etc. To accomplish these research objectives, it will be necessary
to conduct a number of large-scale fire tests to generate the empirical data needed
to evaluate the fire-resistive nature of new or alternative materials and assess
the performance of alternative fire protection measures. Also, these data will be
used as input to support the development and validation of computer modeling techniques
that have the potential to support future, similar evaluations, but without the
need for additional fire testing. The intent for this research effort is to make
use of existing fire test capabilities, including the simulated 500 m3 machinery
space, on the USCG’s fire test vessel, the STATE OF MAINE.
