Happy to share that Sergio Zárate defended his PhD thesis "Contribution of Convection and Radiation at the Preheating Stage during Fire Spread in Fuel Beds" today! Sergio's work explores the role of radiation and convection on flame spread in different fuel configurations. 1/

Ian’s work significantly advances our understanding of measurement errors in thermocouple readings in low conductivity materials. This, and Ian’s proposed correction method will help all who work towards improved fire safety in buildings of wood, bamboo or other bio products. 2/2

At UQ's open day we were fortunate enough to be able to talk to dozens of families about our work here. We also had the opportunity to show them what happens to timber that's charred when you continue to heat it - no surprises, it continues to burn and breaks if loaded!

We're delighted to be able to congratulate @luthramadhan on the positive outcome of his PhD viva! Huge thanks to the external examiners @ClaireMBelcher and Alex Filkov.

Dear All, workshops are one of the most exciting parts of @IAFSS conferences. We are looking to host all standing committees and a few other workshops at IAFFS23 in Tsukuba. We need your input - which topics do you prefer? Please answer one question at: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Workshops for IAFSS Symposium 2023

We are collecting information about possible workshop topics for the next IAFSS symposium. Please respond to with your preference.

Always a joy to work with our fantastic collaborators in Edinburgh and with @ArupGroup, especially on the important matter of fire safety for timber buildings. Simple engineering changes to adhesive and ply configuration double the load bearing time in fire.

New paper with alumnus and @UQFire’s @Wiezmo on heat transfer implications for CLT walls. Look out for choice of adhesive and ply thickness dictating capacity and failure after the fire has gone out! Free access for 50 days here authors.elsevier.com/a/1eWTr… @lukebisby @rorymiles

Glad to share the latest paper from my PhD in @CTBUH! We consolidate, review and analyse data collected from almost every large compartment fire experiment between 1993 and now. The paper is open-access and FREE to download at: koreascience.or.kr/article/J… #firesafety #tallbuildings

The latest paper from the Cladding Materials Library is now published in @CTBUH! This one explores the flame spread of cladding materials, and can be used create an initial fire risk classification to inform on areas of further investigation @UQFire doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2021.…
