The performance of commercial intumescent coatings is assessed by industrial norms and
standards with clearly defined experimental conditions. In contrast, academic research on …

Three different experimental setups corresponding to three different fire scenarios were
used to investigate how different heating conditions and heating rates affect the behaviour of …

A novel fire testing method, named the Heat-Transfer Rate Inducing System (H-TRIS), is
presented and described in this paper. The method directly controls the thermal boundary …

In the past decades, the steel industry has experienced a rapid growth in the use of
intumescent coatings for protecting load-bearing steel structures in the event of a fire. The …

Intumescent coatings (ic) are often used on steel structures to reduce the heating during a
fire when the structural, aesthetic, and architectural value of the structural members should …

The study presented herein describes an exploratory investigation on the fire performance of
intumescent coatings used on timber elements. Timber samples, uncoated or coated with …

Thin intumescent coating (IC) are nowadays the dominant passive system used to protect
structural steel in case of fire. This paper proposes a general procedure for modelling …

This research study presents a heat transfer model aimed at estimating the thermal and
physical response of intumescent coatings. The numerical model is inspired by the …
