5th European Symposium on Fire safety Science

The main topics of the symposium are:

• Material behaviour in fire (ignition, pyrolysis, heat transfer, flame spread, flammability, smoke production, smouldering, …)
• Fire dynamics (fire plumes, compartment fires, tunnel fires, fire detection and suppression, facades, smoke transport, …)
• Large outdoor fires (wildland fires, wildland-urban interface fires, urban conflagrations, …)
• Structure-fire interactions (thermal and mechanical response of construction materials in fire, steel, concrete, timber and composite structures in fire, …)
• Fire safety engineering (industrial fire safety, fire hazard, risk analysis, resilience, evacuation and human behaviour, performance-based design, fire forensics, …)
• Fire safety and sustainability (bio-based materials, battery fires, electrical vehicles, battery & energy storage systems, solar panels, health and environmental considerations, fire emissions and toxicity, sustainability calculations, …)
