      In recent times there have been increasing efforts to integrate technology into wildfire management, especially in the fields of tactical monitoring and simulation. On the one hand, thermal infrared imaging (TIR) systems ...

    • Computer-simulation study on fire behaviour in the ventilated cavity of ventilated façade systems 

      Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Avellaneda Diaz-Grande, Jaime; Giraldo Forero, María del Pilar; Burgos Leiva, Camila (EDP Sciences, 2013)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Fire spread through the façades is widely recognized as one of the fastest pathways of fire spreading in the buildings. Fire may spread through the façade in different ways depending on the type of façade system and on ...

    • Fire behaviour of biobased textile reinforced cement composites 

      Claramunt Blanes, Josep; Haurie Ibarra, Laia; Gónzalez López, Laura; Ventura Casellas, Heura; Ardanuy Raso, Mònica (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2019)

      Our research group has recently developed a composite laminate reinforced with flax fibre nonwoven fabrics with a flexural strength of around 30 MPa and a toughness of around 13 kJ/m2, owing to the combination of a strong ...

    • Improvement of fire reaction and mould growth resistance of a new bio-based thermal insulation material 

      Navarro Ezquerra, Antonia; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Palumbo, Mariana; Giraldo, Pilar; Lesar, Boštjan (Elsevier, 2016-12-20)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In the present paper, the performance of an innovative thermal insulation rigid board is evaluated in terms of fire behaviour and fungal resistance. The board is based on vegetal pith and a natural gum (corn pith and sodium ...

    • Influence of different parameters in the fire behaviour of seven hardwood species 

      Haurie Ibarra, Laia; Giraldo Forero, María del Pilar; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María; Montón Lecumberri, Joaquín; Sonnier, Rodolphe (2019-07-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Wood is a widely used material in the construction sector, both in structural and non-structural applications. Tropical species are appreciated for their high quality and durability in furniture, outdoor and indoor claddings ...

    • Infrared imagery on wildfire research. Some examples of sound capabilities and applications 

      Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Wildfire infrared monitoring is nowadays applied to different problems related to fire prevention, fire suppression and fire behaviour analysis. In terms of research, infrared thermography offers unique capabilities although ...

    • Study of the fire and thermal behaviour of façade panels made of natural fibre-reinforced cement-based composites 

      Gónzalez López, Laura; Claramunt Blanes, Josep; Haurie Ibarra, Laia; Ventura Casellas, Heura; Ardanuy Raso, Mònica (Elsevier, 2021-07-13)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The thermal and fire behaviour of calcium aluminate cement-based composites with a variable metakaolin content (from 0 to 40 wt% addition) reinforced with nonwoven flax fabrics has been examined. The fire behaviour was ...
