Combustion Properties of Timber in Historic Structures: Case Study of the São Pedro de Alcântara Chapel Fire

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Timber plays a fundamental role in the fire performance of historic building components, where ageing and environmental exposure can markedly influence its physical and chemical properties. This study presents an experimental investigation of the fire behaviour of Ocotea sp.

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vehicle flammability poses a critical threat to transportation infrastructure, with recent fires in depots, tunnels, and car parks highlighting systemic vulnerabilities. These incidents often result in the total loss of vehicles and buildings, revealing the inadequacy of current fire safety standards for vehicle materials.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Experimental Characterization of the Effects of Mineral‐Based Fire‐Retardant Admixtures on the Combustion Properties of Polyethylene Blends

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for flame retardant (FR) polymeric materials has highlighted the need to improve the combustion behaviour of highly flammable polymers such as polyethylene (PE). This study investigates the use of eco‐sustainable mineral FRs as a strategy to reduce heat release and smoke production during combustion, while improving the ...

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.
