Remedies to Thermal Radiation in Fused Silica Optical Fibers
Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2023 During fire incidents, optical fibers located with-in a fire-resistant cable are usually exposed to temperatures of 800◦C to 1000◦C. Hot fibers generate narrowband thermal (incandescent) radiation and collect broadband thermal radiation originating from

Experimental Study of the Concrete Cracking Behavior of an Immersed Tunnel under Fire
Buildings, 2023 This study investigates the impact of fire on the cracking behavior of immersed tunnels. A reduced-scale (1:5) model of an immersed tunnel was constructed to conduct fire tests in both traffic tubes using the HCinc curve as the applied fire.

High Temperature Effects in Fused Silica Optical Fibers
Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2021 Fire-resistant fiber optic cables used in safety and monitoring systems playing an essential role in fire fighting and building evacuation procedures are required to temporarily maintain optical continuity when exposed to fire. However, the use of fused

Modeling of fire exposure in facade fire testing
Fire and Materials, 2017 SummaryIn this paper, a comparative simulation study on 3 large‐scale facade testing methods, namely, the SP Fire 105, BS 8414‐1, and the ISO 13785‐2 methods, is presented. Generally good correspondence between simulations and experimental data has been found, provided that thermal properties of the facade material and heat release rates are known ...
