Behavior of Prestressing Steels after Fire [PDF]
IABSE Congress, Chicago 2008: Creating and Renewing Urban Structures – Tall Buildings, Bridges and Infrastructure, 2008 <p>Even if a fire does not give rise to apparent damage in a prestressed structure, mechanical properties of materials as well as load distribution can be affected. A verification of residual load bearing capacity after fire is necessary to determine if the structure can be maintained in use.

Invasion of a non‐native forb reduces flammability in a fire‐dependent ecosystem
Ecosphere, 2022 Fire and grazing are two of the most common global disturbances that maintain and promote many grassland ecosystems worldwide. The presence of non‐native, invasive plant species can alter fire regimes through changes in fuel properties that affect native

A Fire Fighter's Problem [PDF]
, 2015 Suppose that a circular fire spreads in the plane at unit speed. A single fire fighter can build a barrier at speed $v>1$. How large must $v$ be to ensure that the fire can be contained, and how should the fire fighter proceed? We contribute two results.
