The use of mass timber in buildings instead of non‐combustible materials has benefits in
sustainability, aesthetics, construction times, and costs. However, the uptake of mass timber …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a mass timber product that has attracted increasing interest
in mid-and high-rise building construction. However, conventional compartment fire models …

The increasing complexity of technological solutions to both fire safety design issues and fire
safety regulations demand higher levels of training and continuing education for fire …

There is an increasing global demand to build from timber as it is a sustainable and
attractive material. One of the key challenges associated with timber buildings is their …

The desire by developers and architects to build mass timber buildings using cross
laminated timber (CLT) and glulam has significantly increased globally in the last decade …

Smouldering, a slow, persistent, and flameless form of combustion has only been observed
in few fire experiments of mass timber compartments. Smouldering is a phenomenon well …

This study investigates whether timber surfaces that are initially exposed to fire or partially
protected timber components can lead to a more critical fire exposure on the façade. Five full …

Exposing cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures in buildings is increasingly popular in
modern buildings. However, large timber surfaces, window facades, and different …

The 'travelling fire'models have been used to describe the localised and travelling burning of
uniform fuel bed in large open-plan building space. However, fuel is typically distributed non …

Large open-plan compartment fires in modern buildings may exhibit a local burning region
travelling across the floor plan as a 'travelling fire'. This phenomenon has been found in the …
