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).

Burning Lessons: The Failure to Learn From Major Fire Incidents
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Major fire disasters continue to cause substantial loss of life, economic damage, and social disruption worldwide. Although investigations occur in most countries, lessons learned are often fragmented, published in incompatible formats, or not published at all.

Effect of HBr on Explosion Limits of Stoichiometric Hydrogen‐oxygen Mixture
International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This work, based on numerical simulations, discusses the effect of HBr as an inhibitor on the explosion limit of stoichiometric hydrogen‐oxygen gas mixture in a closed spherical vessel. The numerical simulation solves the complete governing equations for mass, momentum, species and energy.
