FIRE BEHAVIOR VARIABLES AND HAZARD INDICES OF FOREST FIRES [PDF]
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of different fire hazard indices (FWI, FMA, FMA+, Telicyn, Nesterov, P-EVAP and EVAP/P), taking into account the fire behavior variables and the susceptibility to fire expressed by the moisture ...

An Experimental Investigation on Fire Behavior of Expanded Polystyrene [PDF]
Fire behavior of different types of EPS was evaluated with the use of ISO 5660 cone calorimeter test method. Considering the complexity of behavior of EPS against high temperatures, several specimens were tested, so a betterjudgment on fire behavior of ...
