An analysis of full-scale fire test experimental data is presented for a small compartment (3×3.6×2.3 m). A square steady fire source is placed in the center of the compartment. There is an open door and a horizontal opening in the roof, so that na

Self-compacting concrete, as a new smart building material with various advanced properties, has been used for a wide range of structures and infrastructures. However little investigation have been reported on the properties of Self-compacting when i

The possible flow measurement error due to heating or cooling of exhaust gases in the Single-Burning-Item (SBI) test is estimated from numerical experiments. It is illustrated that there is no one-to-one correspondence between the velocity profile sh

A comparative study is presented of different calculation methods with respect to the evacuation of smoke and heat in the case of enclosure fires in large compartments. These methods range from manual calculations, based on empirical formulae, over z

In various medium-to-large-scale fire test equipments like the ISO room corner test (RC), and more recently, the single burning item test (SBI) the mass flow rate measurement of the combustion gases plays a key role in the determination of the heat-r

When field models are used to predict fires and flame spread, a solid model is required to calculate the amount of released pyrolysis gases. Here, the integral model for the pyrolysis of charring materials of Moghtaderi et al., extended with a coolin

In most numerical simulations of fire growth and fire spread, pyrolysis models are required to calculate the reaction of the solid material to an incident heat flux. Important results of the pyrolysis model are the mass release rate of combustible py

This paper describes a one dimensional moving grid model for the pyrolysis of charring materials. In the model, the solid is divided by a pyrolysis front into a char and a virgin layer. Only when the virgin material reaches a critical temperature it

In the comprehensive EC-sponsored initiative, CBUF (combustion behaviour of upholstered furniture), three models were developed for furniture fire prediction. The second of these models, CBUF model II, is based on an area convolution technique with e

The design of reinforced concrete columns under fire conditions is generally made on the basis of national and international recommendations. The CEB/FIP recommendations have been used for many years. Recently, in the framework of the Eurocodes, the
