This paper presents a review of the pyrolysis, ignition, and combustion processes
associated with wood, for application in tall timber construction. The burning behaviour of …

This review encompasses the available practical and experimental data on the ignition of
solid wood. Only solid, natural wood is considered, not sawdust, chips, or products that have …

" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

This paper experimentally and theoretically examines the ignition of 50mm thick samples of
wood in the Cone Calorimeter. Four species of wood were exposed to a range of incident …

This paper experimentally and theoretically examines the horizontal burning of four species
of wood exposed to incident heat fluxes of 25–75 kW/m2 with their grain oriented either …

Thermal induced pyrolysis and the following flaming ignition of solid combustible play
crucial roles in determining the occurrence of fire and the subsequent flame spread. This …

The physical phenomenon of piloted ignition of a material is described. A number of
mathematical models of this phenomenon are presented in order of decreasing complexity …

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the effect of slope on the rate of upward
spread of flame over a combustible solid. There is a clear difference between the …

Abstract The Cone Calorimeter is a new‐generation instrument developed primarily for
making rate of heat release measurements. This instrument, containing a uniform and well …

A study of the autoignition of wood by a radiant cone heater was conducted. Insulated
redwood samples were exposed vertically to incident heat flux ranging from 10 to 70 kW/m2 …
