Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 lays down harmonized conditions for marketing construction products in the European Union. One of its consequences has been the introduction of the product standard EN 50575 and standard EN 130501-6, concerning power, cont...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) offer a promising solution to reduce the environmental impact compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, EV adoption in Australia has been hindered by concerns over fire safety. This study aims to comprehensivel...

Semiclosed tunnels are very common in engineering construction. They are not connected, so they easily accumulate heat. Once a fire breaks out in a semiclosed tunnel, the route for rescue workers to enter is limited, so it is tough to get close to th...

This work analyzes a new indoor laboratory dataset looking at early fire indicators in controlled and realistic experiments representing different incipient fire scenarios. The experiments were performed within the constraints of an indoor laboratory...

Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been widely used for strengthening and retrofitting applications. However, their efficacy is hindered by the poor resistance of their epoxy resins to elevated temperatures and their limited comp...

A deeper understanding of the influence of fine-scale fuel patterns on fire behavior is essential to the design of forest treatments that aim to reduce fire hazard, enhance structural complexity, and increase ecosystem function and resilience. Of par...

To accurately simulate realistic pedestrian evacuation from a fire, a cellular automaton model of the dynamic changes in pedestrian movement parameters is developed in conjunction with fire dynamics software. The fire dynamics software is used to sim...

Accurate predictions of daily wildfire growth rates are crucial, as extreme wildfires have become increasingly frequent in recent years. The factors which determine wildfire growth rates are complex and depend on numerous meteorological factors, topo...

The process of combustion of a liquid fuel layer (diesel, kerosene, gasoline, separated petroleum, and oil) in the presence of CO2 hydrate has been studied. These fuels are widely used in engineering, which explains the great interest in effective me...

The generation of biomass residues in different productive activities of rural communities in Mexico represents an area of opportunity for the generation of bioenergy for various purposes. Solid biofuels (SBF), for example, are an alternative for the...
