Physical modeling of a fire with the use of the Froude number
Budownictwo i Architektura, 2019 Ever since the field of Fire Safety Engineering first came into existence, small-scale (model scale) fire tests were the source of much valuable information about the phenomena occurring during combustion. Over the years, several computational methods to

Maximizing information obtained from standardized fire tests using a Bayesian framework
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 Current practice is mostly focused on prescriptive design approaches where the performance of the structure in case of fire is assessed based on its performance in standardized fire tests.

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 ...

Finite Element Analysis and Calculation Method of Residual Flexural Capacity of Post-fire RC Beams
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2020 Fire tests and subsequent bending tests of four reinforced concrete (RC) beams were performed. Based on these tests, the post-fire performance of RC beams was further studied using finite-element simulation through reasonable selection of suitable ...

How to Protect Staircases in Case of Fire in Mid-Rise Buildings. Real Scale Fire Tests
Safety & Fire Technology, 2019 Aim: The aim of the analysis was to investigate how smoke would spread in the building in the case of fire, and how to protect staircases without a pressure differential system (PDS). It was assumed that a ventilation system should: prevent the staircase
