Toy Blocks and Rotational Physics [PDF]
, 2004 In this paper we summarize the theory of the "falling chimney," which deals with the breaking of tall structures in mid-air, when they fall to the ground. We describe how to reproduce these effects using small-scale models built with toy blocks.

Fire Design of Wooden Structures [PDF]
, 1983 The paper describes and discusses the state of the art concerning the possibilities of an analytical prediction of the real fire behaviour of wooden structures and structural members. The principles of a probability based design are outlined with reference to a physical model according to Fig. 2, connected to a natxral compartment fire exposure.
