As environmental conservation and sustainability gain prominence globally, modern timber
structures are receiving increased focus. Nonetheless, the combustible nature of timber …

Smoldering, characterized as a slow, low-temperature, and flameless reaction process,
represents one of the most persistent types of combustion phenomena. While oxygen supply …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming increasingly popular due to its many advantages.
However, it has been shown that exposed CLT can have a significant effect on fire dynamics …

To identify effective wetting additives for extinguishing wood fires, this study employed both

duration on the combustion characterization of the Maple wood species (Acer platanoides …

The traditional compartment fire framework has been the safety standard in fire engineering
codes and design standards. Incorporating potentially combustible materials has led to …

Fire is an unpredictable event, but if it does occur a structure should be designed in such a
way that it would be able to resist such an event while remaining structurally sound. The …
