Investigating the Effect of Structure to Structure Separation Distance on Firebrand Accumulation
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 Wind plays an important role in the built environment. Large outdoor fires in the built environment are no exception. Under strong wind, firebrands fly far, which leads to quick fire spread.

How is visual separation assessed? By counting distance units
Frontiers in PsychologyHow does the human visual system assess the separation between pairs of stimuli in a frontal plane? According to the direct (or subtractive) view the system finds the difference between the positions of the stimuli in a localization system.

METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF FIRE ON BUILDING STRUCTURES WHEN JUSTIFYING SEPARATION DISTANCES OF LESS THAN 6 METERS [PDF]
Актуальные вопросы пожарной безопасности, 2021 There are considered the features of normative regulation of separation distances in terms of estimated justification of their values. The necessity of improving the calculation methods mentioned in SP 4.13130.2013 is justified.

A Parametric Study of Fire Risks of Green Roofs to Adjacent Buildings
Fire, 2022 The susceptibility of plants to burn raises concerns about fire hazard that green roofs may pose to buildings. Main concerns relate to cases when such roofs are poorly maintained or stressed by drought conditions which leads to drying out of plants and ...
