 s transport infrastructure network\, and it is important to protect the in
 frastructure and lives during a fire emergency. In a fire\, longitudinal v
 entilation is a fundamental safety system to move smoke away from people a
 nd to create visibility for fire-fighting. In the design of such systems\,
  it is critical to consider the various pressure losses that would occur i
 n a fire. One such contributor of the pressure loss is fire throttling.\n\
 nFire throttling is the increased resistance to air flow in a tunnel when 
 a fire is present. This effect was mentioned over 40 years ago\, and vario
 us 1D models have been proposed although the methodology for the 1D models
  is fragmented and the focus is locally at the fire only.\n\nThis CPD sess
 ion will brief history of fire throttling and itself. But also will discus
 s the findings by modelling\, to describe the occurrence of fire throttlin
 g\, estimate the impact of fire throttling\, and how it influence at the f
 ire and downstream.\nSpeaker\nEdmund Ang – PhD researcher at Hazelab Imp
 erial College London and Technical Director\, AECOM Australia.\n\nEdmund i
 s chartered engineer (fire safety and mechanical) based in Australia. Edmu
 nd is a late-stage PhD researcher at Hazelab\, and is AECOM’s Technical 
 Director\, ANZ Buildings and Places Transit Sector Director. Edmund is res
 ponsible as a technical specialist and multidisciplinary manager on variou
 s infrastructure projects from underground stations\, metro and road tunne
 ls to large complex buildings. Edmund has a keen interest in tunnels\, fir
 e safety\, sustainability\, and computational methods\, and these are some
  of the research topics that Edmund has worked on.\n\nEdmund had the privi
 lege of working on Australia’s first fully automated train (Sydney Metro
  Northwest)\, and through this work he was awarded Sydney’s 2019 Young P
 rofessional Engineer of the Year.\nFee\nN/A\nRegistration &amp\; Enquiries
