With the rapid development of economics in the Asia-Oceania regions, there were big
construction projects with new architectural designs in the past three decades. Many of …

Heat release rates of burning gasoline and wood fires in a room were studied by
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Version 5.5. 3 of the software Fire Dynamics Simulator …

Double-skin façade (DSF) is an environmental friendly architectural feature. However, fire
hazard is a concern. A scenario of having a flashover room fire adjacent to the façade was …

Long evacuation time is a key fire safety concern for crowded supertall buildings. Elevator
evacuation appears to be the only choice but fire safety provisions are not specially …

Residential highrise building fire of height above 200 m is now a concern in the Far East.
Long-term survey study on fire load density indicated that high amount of combustibles over …

Many tall halls of big space volume were built and, to be built in many construction projects
in the Far East, particularly Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Smoke is identified to …

Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have been used in civil construction
because of their high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. However, their thermal …

Heat release rate (HRR) of the design fire is the most important parameter in assessing
building fire hazards. However, HRR in room fire was only studied by computational fluid …

The flow field driven by a compartment fire usually contains several flow zones with different
physical structures. As each type of turbulence model has its own predominant application …

Many long corridors are built in underground public transport interchanges in downtown of
big cities. Smoke control systems have to be installed in these long corridors. A density jump …
