Fire performance and leach resistance of pine wood impregnated with guanyl-urea phosphate/boric acid and a melamine-formaldehyde resin
(2020)Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood impregnated with guanyl-urea phosphate/boric acid and a melamine-formaldehyde resin exhibited considerably increased resistance to leaching, while sustaining superior fire retardancy ... -
Improving fire retardancy of medium density fiberboard by nano-wollastonite
(2020)The improving effects of addition of nano-wollastonite on some fire properties of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) were studied in this work. Nano-wollastonite was added at four levels (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%). The size range ... -
Increasing fire retardancy of wood by impregnation with inorganic salts recovered from exhausted fire extinguishing powder
(2019)The fire retardancy of wood impregnated with a mixture of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium sulfate recovered from exhausted fire extinguishing powder was assessed. Impregnated specimens recorded a 14.3% total ... -
Interface modelling between CFD and FEM analysis: The dual-layer post-processing model
(2017)Purpose: The primary purpose of this paper is the development of a fire-structure interface (FSI) model, which is referred in this study as a simplified "dual-layer" model. It is oriented for design purposes, in the cases ... -
Numerical Simulation of Damage on Cementitious Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials Applied on Steel Plates
(2019)Cementitious Sprayed Fire Resistive Materials (SFRMs) are extensively employed for the fire protection of steel structural members due to their cost-effective fire proofing capabilities. They are susceptible, however, to ... -
Optimal number and location of watchtowers for immediate detection of forest fires in a small island
(2017)A crucial factor for prevention and immediate confrontation of destructive fires and their socioeconomic and environmental consequences constitutes the early detection and spatial localization of fire ignitions, so that ... -
Remotely sensed data fusion for spatiotemporal geostatistical analysis of forest fire hazard
(2020)Forest fires are a natural phenomenon which might have severe implications on natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. Future projections predict that, under a climate change environment, the fire season would be lengthier ... -
Spatial planning of fire-agency stations as a function of wildfire likelihood in Thasos, Greece
(2020)Even though wildfires constitute a natural phenomenon, they may have severe implications with respect to the socioeconomic structure of the affected population and the ecological wealth of a territory, especially when they ... -
Technological properties and fire performance of medium density fibreboard (MDF) treated with selected polyphosphate-based fire retardants
(2020)The objective of the work was to evaluate the efficacy of two new polyphosphate-based fire retardants (FRs) and one commercial product named Siriono® on the fire performance and physical–mechanical properties of medium ... -
Thermal buckling behaviour of unstiffened and stiffened fixed-roof tanks under non-uniform heating
(2018)The problem addressed in this paper is the thermal buckling behaviour of thin-walled steel cylindrical fixed-roof tanks under non-uniform loading, induced by an adjacent tank. This specific type of thermal loading can be ...
