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

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards
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.

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure
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
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 ...
