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.

Evaluating the Performance of Fire Rate of Spread Models in Northern-European Calluna vulgaris Heathlands

Fire, 2022
Land-use, climate, and policy changes have impacted the fire regimes of many landscapes across northern Europe. Heathlands in oceanic climates are globally important ecosystems that have experienced an increase in the prevalence of destructive wildfire ...

Fire analysis of timber composite beams with interlayer slip [PDF]

, 2009
The purpose of this paper is to model the behaviour of timber composite beams with interlayer slip, when simultaneously exposed to static loading and fire.

A Planning Model for Fire-Resilient Landscapes in Portugal Is Riddled with Fallacies: A Critical Review of “FIRELAN” by Magalhães et al., 2021

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

Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]

, 2020
A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.

Stand-Level Fuel Reduction Treatments and Fire Behaviour in Canadian Boreal Conifer Forests

Fire, 2020
Stand-level fuel reduction treatments in the Canadian boreal zone are used predominantly in community protection settings to alter the natural structure of dominant boreal conifer stands such as black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP), jack pine (Pinus ...

The behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs in fire [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper a robust model is presented based on the previous layer procedure developed by the author to also take into account the effects of concrete spalling on the behaviour of concrete slabs under fire conditions.

Coupled thermo-mechanical damage modelling for structural steel in fire conditions [PDF]

, 2020
This paper aims at developing a coupled thermo-mechanical damage model for structural 6 steel at elevated temperatures. The need for adequate modelling of steel deterioration behaviour 7 remains a challenging task in structural fire engineering because ...

Quantifying merging fire behaviour phenomena using unmanned aerial vehicle technology

International journal of wildland fire, 2020
Catastrophic wildfires are often a result of dynamic fire behaviours. They can cause rapid escalation of fire behaviour, increasing the danger to ground-based emergency personnel.
