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).

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 ...

Operating in perpetual motion? Coping with the dark side of global boundary spanning
Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary This paper explores how individuals experience and cope with the demands of global boundary spanning in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We foreground temporary colocation as a modality through which mobile global boundary spanners repeatedly traverse multiple boundaries, triggering intense demands with adverse consequences ...
