Fire whirls present a powerful intensification of combustion, long studied in the fire research
community because of the dangers they present during large urban and wildland fires …

This study demonstrates the development of bivariate fragility curves for a fire-exposed
simple-span overpass bridge prototype with composite steel plate girders. The fire and …

In a crude oil tank farm, a fire in a large crude oil storage tank can spread to its neighbouring
tanks due to thermal radiation causing wall rupture. To better understand the thermal …

A striking feature of fire whirls is that they tend to have higher mean flame heights than free
buoyant pool fires at the same heat release rates, which has been extensively studied in the …

Storage tank fires (such as pool-fires) often occur in the petrochemical tank farms. Flame
pulsation is an important characteristic of the turbulent flames observed in pool-fires. Current …

It is often reported that a jet fire occurs in industrial installations or in the transportation of
hazardous materials and could amplify the scale of accident by imposing lots of heat on …

Thermal radiation is an important parameter to evaluate the hazard of pool fires. In the
conventional solid flame model for the radiant heat flux calculation, the burning flame is …

Recent vehicular fires in concrete-lined tunnels have demonstrated the vulnerability of the
liner to heat-induced spalling and cracking damage. To evaluate the structural fire …

The occurrence of leakage in large tank farms or oil deposits can lead to fire or explosion
accidents. Coupling effects of fire and explosion loadings can cause considerably more …

With the increasing complexity of tunnel structures, the fire characteristics of traditional
single-tube tunnels are not suitable for those with complex structures. Multi-directional …
