Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Ignition and Horizontal Flame Spread for Recycled Plastic Pellets

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fires in recycling facilities are known for producing noxious fumes, having high heat release rates (HRRs), being difficult to extinguish and causing significant devastation to business operations. This research aims to provide experimental data and numerical models from which performance‐based designs can be developed for recycling facilities.

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Traffic Flow Data Collection Methods During Wildfire Evacuation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024.

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

Fire and Rescue Service Preparedness for Natural Hazards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment. Based on a series of national and international interviews with the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), this paper presents an analysis of present practices within the FRS and FRS willingness to employ a ...

A Bayesian Analysis of Accidental Dwelling Fire Incidence, Injury, and Fatality in the Greater Manchester Area

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between accidental dwelling fire incidence and fire injury and fatality was examined using a Bayesian model to estimate the probability of a fire injury or fatality resulting from an accidental dwelling fire incidence under different circumstances of fire incidence (type of accidental dwelling fire, dwelling occupancy type ...
