Purpose The purpose of this study is to review and summarise the existing available
literature on lightweight cladding systems to provide detailed information on fire behaviour …

This manuscript presents tools and data that serve to enable an evaluation of the risk
associated with vertical fire spread on buildings. A highly detailed context to cladding fires is …

A machine learning algorithm was applied to predict the onset of flashover in archival
experiments in a 1/5 scale ISO 13784‐1 enclosure constructed with sandwich panels. The …

To understand sandwich panel behaviour under fire, expensive full-scale tests, or potentially
more efficient fire-structure simulations can be carried out. However, these simulations have …

Four sandwich panel rooms were constructed as prescribed in the ISO 13784-1 test.
However, the construction followed normal industry practice, and the panels were also …

Fire testing includes the fire resistance of structural components, and the reaction to fire of
flammable components. It can be applied to materials and products. Fire scenarios vary …

Abstract Four scaled (1: 5) fire experiments with two identically classified types of
commercially available sandwich panels incorporating either stone wool (SW) or …

Fire protection of timber structures and finishing structural materials is actual due to the high
combustibility of these materials. The technical characteristics for protected timber structures …

This paper presents two full-scale fire resistance tests of sandwich panels with connections,
to verify oneway coupled fire-structure simulations. The heat transfer simulations agree well …

External fire spread has the potential to breach vertical compartmentation and violate the fire
safety strategy of a building. The traditional design solution to this has been the use of non …
