Computer-simulation study on fire behaviour in the ventilated cavity of ventilated façade systems
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2013 Fire spread through the façades is widely recognized as one of the fastest pathways of fire spreading in the buildings. Fire may spread through the façade in different ways depending on the type of façade system and on the elements and materials from ...

Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...
