  1. 1. INTERMEDIATE-SCALE TESTS AND CONE CALORIMETER TESTS - FIRE BEHAVIOUR OF SELECTED FACADE MATERIALS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Tanja Cernosa; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire behaviour; Intermediate-scale facade tests; cone calorimeter; stone wool; phenolic foam; WRB; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times.

  3. 2. Fire Safety of Facades

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Bogdan-Grigore Branisteanu-Albulescu; [2019]
    Keywords : polystyrene; graphene; façade; pyrolysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Façade fires are a big concern due to past incidents and the large number of victims encountered. Vertical flame spread mechanism specific to this type of fires is a complex phenomenon with parameters that are often difficult to be coupled. READ MORE

  4. 3. Performance of cavity barriers exposed to fire : A model scale test

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Sara Gustafsson; Stina Jonsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Cavity barriers; Model scale test; timber; constructions; fire spread; glowing combustion; smouldering; cavities;

    Abstract : To build multi story buildings out of timber is of a common interest in the building sector. Timber as a building material has many profits, such as the low cost, the availability and the ability to recycle it, the low carbon footprint and the workability. READ MORE

  5. 4. Experimental Fire Study of Expanded Polystyrene Insulation in Concrete and Lightweight Concrete Wall Constructions

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jacob Nellgård; [2017]
    Keywords : EPS; Expanded Polystyrene; Concrete; Lightweight Concrete; Vertical Firespread;

    Abstract : In today’s building industry creating and finding a cheaper and more efficient way of construction with the same standards is the primary goal. The necessity in testing the constructions in different scenarios is of highest interest, primarily in saving future lives but also in the residual value for the insurance point of view. READ MORE

  6. 5. The impact of horizontal projections on external fire spread - A numerical comparative study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Markus Nilsson; [2016]
    Keywords : fönsterbröstning; bröstning; balkongplatta; balkong; horisontell projektion; SP Fire 105; numerical study; comparative analysis; validation study; adiabatic surface temperature; vertical fire spread; external fire spread; FDS 6.2.0; FDS; balcony; spandrel; horizontal projection; extern brandspridning; vertikal brandspridning; adiabatisk yttemperatur; valideringsstudie; jämförande analys; numerisk studie; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of the report was to investigate and compare the effect of horizontal projections along with different spandrel heights between the unprotected openings in the building facade. The effect was more specifically the effect on the risk level in regards to the external vertical fire spread. READ MORE
