Many studies of the thermal and structural behaviour for large compartments in fire carried
out over the past two decades show that fires in such compartments have a great deal of non …

Products derived from trees have been used by mankind for thousands of years, where
timber has a long tradition as an ecological construction material. There is currently an …

This book provides essential understanding of flows in fire and smoke dynamics in
enclosures, covering combustion, heat transfer and fire suppression in more detail than …

Abstract Drawing from Career Construction Theory (Savickas, 2013) and Social Cognitive
Theory (Bandura, 1986), we examine role modeling as a socialization mechanism that …

Accidental fires result in extensive loss of property, damage to the environment and a large
number of fatalities every year. When fuel collects in the form of a pool and burns, it is …

This paper characterises the fire dynamics in the Large-Scale Demonstrator Malveira Fire
Test, a full-scale fire experiment carried out in an industrial building in Portugal. The …

In compartment fires with boundaries consisting of exposed mass timber surfaces–for
example in compartments with exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls or floors–the …

The traditional design fires commonly considered in structural fire engineering, like the
standard fire and Eurocode parametric fires, were developed several decades ago based on …

This paper presents the extended travelling fire method (ETFM) framework, which considers
both energy and mass conservation for the fire design of large compartments. To identify its …

The current understanding of the thermo-mechanical response of cross-laminated timber
(CLT) walls to fire is insufficiently developed. This paper presents results obtained using a …
