Effects of building concave structure on flame spread over extruded polystyrene thermal insulation material

TL;DR: In this article, both experimental methods and theoretical analysis are employed to investigate effects of concave structure on flame spread behaviors of XPS foam, and the results contribute to the fire hazard assessment of the XPS and fire safety design of the concave building facade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal and fire risk analysis of typical insulation material in a high elevation area: Influence of sidewalls, dimension and pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, the downward flame spread over extruded polystyrene (XPS) slabs at different widths with and without sidewalls in a city at high elevation was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of sample width and inclined angle on flame spread across expanded polystyrene surface in plateau and plain environments

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sample width and inclined angle on flame spread across expanded polystyrene (EPS) surface was studied in a series of laboratory-scale experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flammability and safety design of thermal insulation materials comprising PS foams and fire barrier materials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the flammability and safety design of thermal insulation materials comprising polystyrene (PS) foams and fire barrier materials and found that the ratio of radiative flame heat flux to convective heat flux increased linearly with an increase in characteristic length of the PS combustion zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study on the width and pressure effect on the horizontal flame spread of insulation material

TL;DR: In this article, a series of laboratory scale experiments using rigid polyurethane foam were conducted and theoretical analysis was applied to evaluate the real fire performance of such materials under different situations.
