External claddings have been identified as a more critical component in buildings than
before due to many catastrophic fire incidents that occurred in recent decades. Present-day …

Multifunctional building façades have become an increasingly critical component in modern
buildings, especially after the tremendous scrutiny triggered by the utilization of combustible …

The building facade system is a key part of green buildings and carbon neutrality, but its fire
safety is a global problem. Many large-scale facade fire standard tests are created to …

Façade fires in tall buildings are currently occurring more than once a month globally that
are responsible for many casualties and billions of dollars in losses. In particular, the tragic …

Many buildings worldwide have high fire-risk materials as part of their cladding. As
governments in Australia strive to make buildings safer, it is expected that a large volume of …

This manuscript presents tools and data that serve to enable an evaluation of the risk
associated with vertical fire spread on buildings. A highly detailed context to cladding fires is …

Given the ever-growing importance of environmental sustainability, greater attention has
been paid to the energy consumption of buildings. A significant share of such consumption …

Small-scale cone calorimeter tests are commonly used to evaluate the flammability
properties of building materials used in cladding systems. However, the combined effect of …

Narrow gaps and cavities present in modern construction systems have been identified as
one of the key elements that may enable fire spread after an initial fire ignition. Although …

Fire testing data consistency and repeatability are essential for regulatory scrutiny, product
development, and fire modelling of the lightweight cladding system. Lightweight composite …
