Strength And Ductility

Catenary action has been regarded as a viable load-carrying mechanism in fire for providing structural robustness to steel framed buildings, and this loading mechanism heavily relies on connection strength and ductility under exceptional loading conditions. However, the current code of practice has no detailed guidance on estimation of the connection ductility. This paper is dedicated to demonstration of how to quantify connection ductility in a fire or non-fire situation through the component-based approach. Connection ductility has been evaluated with emphasis on elongation and strength of connection components in each bolt row, and response of brittle components has been identified as an index for connection ductility and failure mechanism in a fire situation.

Fire Ignition

A spatially explicit baseline measure of historic, current and future wildfire ignition expectations is required to monitor and understand changes in fire occurrence, the distribution of which climate change is anticipated to modify. Using spatial–temporal patterns of fire in Canada, we present a method to identify baseline expectations and ignition trends between 1980 and 2006 across 1-km spatial units. Kernel density estimates of wildfire ignitions and temporal trajectory metrics were calculated to describe expected ignition density, variability from expected density, and increasing or decreasing density trends. Baseline ignition expectations and trends were used to create unique fire ignition regimes and assess anthropogenic influence on ignitions. Fire ignition densities decreased exponentially as distance to road or populated place increased, and largest ignition trends occurred closest to both variables. Fire ignition regime delineation was more dependent on human transportation networks than human settlement. These findings provide a unique approach to quantifying ignition expectations. This research highlights the potential of this baseline approach for monitoring efforts and fire–environment interaction research and offers a preliminary spatially explicit model of wildfire occurrence expectations in Canada.

Carbon Fiber Epoxy

Composite materials are increasingly being used in aviation applications. As the quantity of composite material increases, there is a corresponding need to develop a better understanding of composite material response in fire environments. We have recently developed a program to examine this problem experimentally and computationally. Although Sandia National Laboratories and Air Force Research Laboratories at Tyndall have slightly different focuses, we are collaborating to focus on understanding duration, intensity, and the underlying physics during composite fires, as well as the technology and procedures to safely manage composite fire events. In the past year, we have been performing both small and intermediate scale testing to understand the behavior of composite materials used in aviation applications. The current focus is on a set of intermediate scale tests to generate data useful for understanding the behavior of carbon fiber epoxy composites in adverse thermal environments. A series of tests has been performed in a 90 cm cubic enclosure with 25–40 kg of composite materials to generate a severe fire environment fueled mostly by the composites. Preliminary results of these tests will be reported to provide data on the severity of the environment in terms of thermal intensity, duration, and chemical products.
