The Forestry Chronicle, 2020 A 3-m between crown spacing is a commonly cited criterion found in the wildland-urban interface fire literature for minimizing the likelihood of a fully-developed crown fire from occurring in a conifer forest on level terrain.

Numerical Investigation of the Post-Fire Performance of Steel Columns
Buildings, 2022 Research on the seismic performance of steel structures has led to the development of improved structures, which minimize structural and non-structural damage and can be reused immediately after an earthquake.

Quantifying Litter Bed Ignitability: Comparison of a Laboratory and Field Method
Fire, 2023 Understanding the conditions when litter beds will ignite from firebrands is critical for predicting spot fire occurrence. Such research is either field- or laboratory-based, with limited analysis to compare the approaches.

Fire, 2023 FIRELAN was developed as a model expected to foster the resilience to fire and sustainability of a landscape that is based on a number of premises about fire behaviour. We critically review FIRELAN and find that flawed ecological concepts and terminology

Analysis of Forest Fire Behaviour by Advanced Computer Fire Simulators
Communications, 2011 Computer modelling of dangerous phenomena related to fire in forest or in wildland-urban interface is an important tool to support emergency planning for such complicated events.

TEMPERATURE HETEROGENEITY OF TRAVELLING FIRE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON COMPOSITE STEEL-CONCRETE FLOOR [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2016 In order to follow modern trends in contemporary building architecture, which is moving off the limits of current fire design models, assumption of homogeneous temperature conditions used for structural fire analysis needs to be revised. In this

Editorial: Buildings` Behaviour in Fire [PDF]
The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2010 Fire causes a significant loss to life and property, this is why the fire resistance of buildings is one of the main considerations for structural designers. The behaviour of structures exposed to fire is usually described in terms of the concept of fire resistance, which is the period of time under exposure to a standard fire time-temperature curve at

Fire Behaviour of Insulation Panels Commonly Used in High-Rise Buildings
Fire, 2022 The energy efficiency of buildings drives the replacement of traditional construction materials with lightweight insulating materials. However, energy-efficient but combustible insulation might contribute to the building’s fire load.

Fire behaviour of multiple fires in a mine drift with longitudinal ventilation
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2019 The fire behaviour involving multiple fires in a mine drift with longitudinal ventilation was analysed. The conditions and fire phenomena occurring were described. The analysis was based upon experimental data from model-scale fire experiments.
