The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted an extensive investigation of the collapse of the three tall World Trade Center (WTC) buildings. A central part of this investigation was the reconstruction and understanding of the

When a heat release rate limit for a consumer product is set by a regulatory agency, it is of interest to know whether small excursions above that limit, such as may occur due to production line variability, represent a disproportionate increase in f

SUMMARY As part of an effort to characterize the uncertainties associated with heat flux measurements in a fire environment, an uncertainty analysis example was performed using measurement data from a room corner surface products test that followed t

Three existing models of upward flame spread were tested against intermediate-scale experiments on a vinyl ester/glass composite. Characterization of rate of heat release per unit area, needed as input to the models, was obtained at external radiant

Structural composites are vulnerable to fire in two respects: (1) their resin content may ignite and enable the spread of flames over the surface of the structure; (2) the resin may degrade from the heat of a localized fire exposure thus weakening th

This paper focuses on the issue of fire growth on composite materials beyond the region immediately subjected to an ignition source. Suppression of this growth is one of the key issues in realizing the safe usage of composite structural materials. A

Simple experiments are described for the purpose of illustrating measurement errors and their avoidance during use of Gardon or Schmidt-Boelter total heat flux sensors. These errors can assume serious proportions of the observed signal at flux levels

A set of upholstered chairs constructed from five different fabric/foam combinations was subjected to a variety of ignition sources suggested by fire statistics. The sources included a cigarette, a small match-like flame, an incandescent lamp, a spac
