Large-scale compartment fires to develop a self-extinction design framework for mass timber-Part 1: Literature review and methodology

Hangyu Xu et al.

Summary: Fire safety is a major challenge for engineered timber buildings due to their combustible nature. This paper presents a literature review and the design of a large-scale testing methodology to establish the fundamental principles for the self-extinction of engineered timber. Research at material and compartment scales has quantified self-extinction and demonstrated the complex phenomena involved, providing insights for the design framework.

Fire dynamics in mass timber compartments

Carmen Gorska et al.

Summary: With the introduction of Engineered Wood Products in the construction industry, fire safety concerns have arisen especially for high-rise buildings. The combustible nature of timber suggests that existing compartment fire dynamics models may not be applicable to compartments with timber boundaries. Experimental data shows that the presence of timber in compartments increases gas flow velocities, leading to a transition in fire behavior.

Enclosure fire dynamics with a cross-laminated timber ceiling

Robert McNamee et al.

Summary: The experimental study confirmed that introducing a combustible timber ceiling leads to higher temperatures within the enclosure. It also showed that the theoretical models currently used in Germany need refinement in order to adequately represent all relevant scenarios when combustible ceilings are present.

Burning dynamics and in-depth flame spread of wood cribs in large compartment fires

Vinny Gupta et al.

Summary: Wood cribs are commonly used as fuel loads for fire testing in built environments, with their burning processes strongly dependent on fuel nature and compartment geometry. The dynamics of compartment fires are influenced by internal processes within the crib and external momentum-driven flows, leading to transitions between fuel-bed and momentum-controlled burning regimes. Understanding these dynamics is essential for studying fire behavior in large open-plan compartments.
