Developments in the understanding of fire behaviour for large open-plan spaces typical of
tall buildings have been greatly outpaced by the rate at which these buildings are being …

Many fire models have been proposed to investigate structural response to fire, where fire is
considered as a structural “load” and the structural response determines the “resistance” …

Fire modelling is a common practice in building fire safety analysis, but it is costly. This work
develops an AI software, Intelligent Fire Engineering Tool (IFETool), to speed up the fire …

The current understanding of the thermo-mechanical response of cross-laminated timber
(CLT) walls to fire is insufficiently developed. This paper presents results obtained using a …

Fire can damage structures severely and even cause the building collapse. Structural and
fire engineers must carry out a comprehensive forensic investigation of major structural …

Timber is one of the most frequently adopted combustible materials in the built environment.
The thermal properties are the determining factors for assessing the fire risk in a building …

The main characteristics of the cooling phase of post-flashover compartment fires are
studied using a simplified first-principles heat transfer approach to establish key limitations …

Exposed mass timber is being increasingly used for tall hybrid structures due to its
sustainability features, rapid construction time, and the aesthetic desire to see exposed …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of
intermediate-size glued-laminated beam-to-girder assemblies connected with T-shaped …

Lightweight concrete exhibits many advantages over traditional concrete such as lower
density and thermal conductivity and an easier, cheaper, less energy-consuming …
