Progress in combustion science and engineering has led to the generation of large amounts
of data from large-scale simulations, high-resolution experiments, and sensors. This corpus …

A state-of-the-art review is presented on design and research related to progressive
collapse of steel structures under fire conditions. The influence of load ratios, strength of …

Forecasting building fire development and critical fire events in real-time is of great
significance for firefighting and rescue operations. This work proposes an artificial …

Abstract Drawing from Career Construction Theory (Savickas, 2013) and Social Cognitive
Theory (Bandura, 1986), we examine role modeling as a socialization mechanism that …

Observations from realistic fires have revealed that a fire tends to “travel” across the floors
rather than burning simultaneously for the duration. However, the collapse mechanism and …

This paper characterises the fire dynamics in the Large-Scale Demonstrator Malveira Fire
Test, a full-scale fire experiment carried out in an industrial building in Portugal. The …

The traditional design fires commonly considered in structural fire engineering, like the
standard fire and Eurocode parametric fires, were developed several decades ago based on …

This paper presents the extended travelling fire method (ETFM) framework, which considers
both energy and mass conservation for the fire design of large compartments. To identify its …

At elevated temperatures, the mechanical properties of high strength steel (HSS) reported in
the literature have an observable scatter. They differ from design code values that are mainly …

Fire safety of modern buildings is crucial and the fire safety design of these buildings has
been a challenging task. Large open-plan compartments are commonly designed in modern …
