Nondestructive Prediction of Fire Performance in Fire Retardant-treated Wood Using X-ray Computed Tomography

open access: yesBioResources, 2022
The fire performance of fire retardant-treated wood can be evaluated based on how much of the chemical retardant is used. Therefore, methods for identifying chemical content in wood are needed.

Performance-Based Structural Fire Engineering of Steel Building Structures: Traveling Fires

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
Many studies and observations of large building fires show that in large compartments, fires do not burn uniformly. Rather, fires will burn locally and move across a floor plate as fuel is consumed.
