Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

Charred plant remains from Brogård, South-Western Sweden. New information on Early Bronze Age farming

Journal of Nordic Archaeological Science – JONAS
The analysis of plant macrofossil remains from an Early Bronze Age site is pre-sented. Four hundred and fifty-nine cereal grains where identified, of which 188 were determined to species or variety level. When grains were impossible to iden-tify from morphological characteristics, but were not fragmented, they could be tentatively ascribed to a species

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

HRR–Time Behaviour of Untreated Wood Under SBI Conditions: Implications for the Interpretation of FIGRA and THR600

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reaction‐to‐fire classification of wood‐based materials in Europe relies on SBI‐derived parameters such as FIGRA and THR600. While these parameters provide a robust and practical basis for classification, their relationship to the underlying HRR–time development remains difficult to interpret.

Investigation of Systematic Discrepancies Between MCC and TGA Measurements Affecting the Determination of Heat of Combustion

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The determination of step‐resolved effective heats of combustion is essential for detailed pyrolysis modelling in fire growth and flame spread predictions, especially in multi‐step processes where the heat of combustion can differ between reaction steps.
