Fire development in passenger trains
… consisting of experiments and analysis of fire development in a passenger train carriage. The aim of this research is to use experiments, particularly a full-scale passenger train fire experiment, to increase understanding of fire behaviour in passenger trains and evaluate existing design …

Response of high strength concrete columns under fire-induced biaxial bending
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns, under fire conditions, can experience biaxial bending which can arise due to eccentricity in loading, uneven spalling, or due to significant thermal gradients generated through 1-, 2-, or 3-sides of fire exposure. High strength concrete (HSC) columns are especially …

Modelling of group combustion of droplets in a spray fuel cloud
… theory of combustion and explosion, engine design, fire safety, etc. the knowledge of spray combustion behaviour is required. To investigate the influence of a variety in density and transport coefficients and flame front structure, combustion of pure gas cloud is studied numerically. …

Fire Scenario Development for South African Hospitals
Hospital fires continue to present a serious threat to life safety, particularly in developing countries such as South Africa (SA), where outdated infrastructure, limited maintenance, and unreliable fire protection systems compromise effective fire safety management. Hospitals are uniquely …

Fire safety risk model for a main vertical zone of a large passenger ship
… shed light on the everlasting issue of on-board fires, witha particular focus on large passenger ships, by proposing a fire risk model for a MainVertical Zone (MVZ). Historically, fire had and always has been a pressing accidenttype, along with flooding. Despite the regulatory effort, the total …

Fire safety evaluation of multifunctional buildings - Special emphasis on antagonistic attacks and protection of sensitive areas
… new, not previously well analyzed problems for fire safety. A method for selection and evaluation of fire scenarios in multifunctional buildings has been developed. The evaluation method is based on the performance-based design approach, using scenario analysis, and accounts for specific …
