Post-war Single-Family Houses in Europe under Pressure? A Demographic and Economic Framework for the Future Market of Elder Single-Family Housing Neighbourhoods

Recent research suggests that in some West German regions, single-family housing (SFH) neighbourhoods are prone to decay due to changed socio-economic and demographic trends.The question of whether similar demographic trends and implications for the SFH stock can be described for other West European countries such as Belgium, France, Netherlands an

The critical location for thermal radiation disaster in personnel evacuation of rack railway tunnel fires under the large longitudinal slope

Thermal radiation has a great effect on personnel evacuation when the train is on fire in the rack railway tunnels.However, the influence of the longitudinal slope, especially the large longitudinal slope, is not clear.The critical location of a disaster caused by thermal radiation is proposed.Based on the FDS, the correction models of maximum temp
