Full-Scale Room Burn Patterns Study.
G. Gorbett, W. Hicks, P. Kennedy & R. Hopkins, 2008 Fire Patterns, Full-scale Testing, Fire Science, Fire Dynamics, Heat and Flame Vectors Key questions to be addressed by the researchburns were: (a) patterns persistence through flashover and full room involvement, (b) reproducibility of patterns geometry in minimal variable testing methods, and (c) reaffirmation of standard […]
Fire Pattern Persistence and Predictability on Interior Finish and Construction Materials During Pre and Post Flashover Compartment Fires.
R. Hopkins, G. Gorbett, P. Kennedy, 2007 Fire Science, Fire Patterns, Flashover, Full-room Involvement, Full-Scale Test Burn, A series of eight full scale tests were conducted in identically constructed, finished and furnished compartments. In each of the tests with one exception all fires progressed to full room involvement. These test burns demonstrated fire pattern persistence […]
Depth of Calcination Measurement In Fire Origin Analysis
P. Kennedy, K. Kennedy & R. Hopkins, 2003 Fire Patterns, Fire Investigation, Fire Science, Calcination, Fire Investigation Techniques This is a report on a research project into the practical use of measurements of depth of calcination of room-fire exposed gypsum wallboard, under actual fire scene investigation conditions, to discover and illustrate movement and intensity fire […]
