TL;DR: The effects of a wide variety of carbon-based material addition on reaction-to-fire of the polymer Composites are reviewed and the focus is dedicated to biochar-based reinforcements for use in flame retardant polymer composites.

TL;DR: In this article, a fire experiment with wood crib was conducted in a concrete building under low ambient temperature of −10°C to explore fire development and temperature distribution, where the fuel mass loss rate and temperatures at different positions were measured.

TL;DR: Adiabatic surface temperature is an efficient way of expressing thermal exposure and can be used for bridging the gap between fire models and temperature models, as well as between fire testing and temperature modeling as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on a full scale test series on a steel column exposed to localized fires, where the setup is a 6 meters tall hollow circular column, ϕ = 200 mm with a steel thickness of 10 mm.

TL;DR: The concept of Adiabatic Surface Temperature (AST) as discussed by the authors opens possibilities to calculate heat transfer to a solid surface based on one temperature instead of two as is needed when heat transfer by both sides.
