Despite much research and applications, glass material and its use in buildings is still challenging for engineers due to its inherent brittleness and characteristic features such as sensitivity to stress concentrations, reduction in strength over ti...

Electrical apparatuses are prone to faults, which generally causes fires. During such fires, the identification of resolidified copper beads on wires has a strong influence on the direction of the fire investigation. There are four kinds of resolidif...

The study aims to develop a holistic framework for maximum area coverage of a disaster region during a bushfire event. The monitoring and detection of bushfires are essential to assess the extent of damage, its direction of spread, and action to be t...

Wildland fire literacy is the capacity for wildland fire professionals to understand and communicate fundamentals of fuel and fire behavior within the socio-ecological elements of the fire regime. While wildland fire literacy is best developed throug...

This study aimed to evaluate the egress safety in nursing hospitals based on the capacity of the smoke exhaust system. To this end, the available safe egress time was calculated by analyzing changes in visibility, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxy...

Wildfire is an important natural disturbance agent, shaping mixed conifer forest structure throughout the Southwestern United States. Yet, fire exclusion caused by late 19th century livestock grazing followed by human fire suppression has altered for...

Forest fires spread via production and combustion of pyrolysis gases in the understory. The goal of the present paper is to understand the spatial location, distribution, and fraction (relative to the overstory) of understory plants, in this case, sp...

The methodology used by the First Street Foundation Wildfire Model (FSF-WFM) to compute estimates of the 30-year, climate-adjusted aggregate wildfire hazard for the contiguous United States at 30 m horizontal resolution is presented. The FSF-WFM inte...

This paper presents work on investigating the effect of the initial size of water mist droplets on the evaporation and removal of heat from the fire-induced hot gas layer while travelling through the air in a compartment. The histories of the tempera...

Mediterranean Basin forest ecosystems are recurrently affected by wildfires. The occurrence of insect pests following fire may be a critical factor affecting tree survival and forest recovery. Although ambrosia beetles are viewed with increasing conc...
