The fire behavior of external wall insulation system on façades is assessed during LEPIR II
testing. This facility involves a 600 kg wood crib fire in a 30 m 3 lower compartment of a two …

Many studies of the fire induced thermal and structural behaviour in large compartments,
carried out over the past two decades, show a great deal of nonuniformity, unlike the …

This paper presents a model to evaluate the thermal energy transfer between a localized fire
and the surfaces exposed to it, without the flame impinging the ceiling of the semi-open …

This paper introduces the heat transfer model for simple calculation of the temperature field
inside thin-walled sections in fire. It is dedicated for various shapes of a cross-section of …

Driven by the need for high performance and reduction of the ownership cost of commercial
and military structures, both composite and aluminum materials have been used extensively …

The response of structural systems to fire loads is typically assessed through performing
'standard'fire tests on individual members under constant mechanical boundary conditions …

The move from using the standard fire test for structural fire design towards more rational
design methods has led to an increased requirement for numerical modelling of structures in …

In order to follow modern trends in contemporary building architecture which is moving off
the limits of current fire design models, assumption of homogeneous temperature conditions …

Coupled CFD fire simulations and thermomechanical FE analyses typically consist of fire
simulations, heat transfer analyses and structural response analyses, mutually coupled by …

A hierarchy of coupling strategies for integrating advanced three-dimensional modelling
methodologies for prediction of the thermo-mechanical response of structures in fire has …
