The objectives of the study is to synthesize the available information related to design fires in road tunnels and to identify gaps in that information in order to provide a foundation for design guidance. A design fire is characterized by a number of parameters including the temperature, fire heat release rate (FHRR), fire growth rate, fuel load, and products of combustion.

This book presents current research in the study of wind tunnels, including the design, execution and numerical rebuilding of a plasma wind tunnel with the aim to analyse shock wave boundary layer interaction phenomena; the Mainz vertical wind tunnel facility experimenting on cloud physics and chemistry;

There are more underground government bases than you think, and more involved than just planning for a world war. Government documents and corporate records have been studied by the author and provide the foundations for his exploration of these underground tunnels and bases, with black and white photos and diagrams included in an unusual, startling expose. -- Midwest Book Review

Examine the underground labyrinth that stretches for miles below Baghdad, believed to contain biochemical and nuclear weapons, torture chambers, prisons, escape routes, and bunker complexes for Saddam Hussein and his regime.
Five years ago, the U.S. army discovered a network of passageways beneath Baghdad. This documentary chronicles the army's alleged findings in Saddam's secret tunnels, among them, communications equipment and weapons.

I was hesitant (Tunnels was given to me as a Christmas gift) but started reading it and could not put it down. The next Harry Potter "no", Will Burrows is his own character. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book is zero fluff, it makes you want to spin up your scratch boxes and follow along. In fact I did just that, I have to switch to a new ISP that requires PPoE and I was always curious how that worked, the book gave me just enough of a clue to interpret what was passing in and out of my house.
