The work by Andrea Lucherini is also great - he studies the swelling of intumescent paint used to protect steel structures. #13IAFSS

Day 4/5 #13IAFSS
Structures session.
Post-fire strength of aluminium beams by Christian Rippe. Nice experiments, would love to know what happens to the modulus of elasticity post-fire❓

Fire safety is a multifaceted area where the rate of success depends on collaboration between many disciplines! -Prof @AnneSteenHanse1, great key note lecture at the #13iafss symposium. @IAFSS @FRICfirecentre https://t.co/H49e8liwj6

Day 2 #13IAFSS
Great sessions on material behaviour.

Angela’s work on laminated bamboo is so important! We need to start building more with bamboo, and to build fire safe bamboo structures we first need to understand the materials fire behaviour - @asolarte7 @UQFire 🎋

[Dr. Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen @Ragniragniragni]

Presented our paper on Waste Fires yesterday at #13IAFSS! You may find the recording in the online
@IAFSS symposium platform :) Great session, despite some technical issues at the start. This work is a part of the @FRICfirecentre. #risk #battery #smouldering

@FranRestuccia @iafss2020 @13Iafss I loved the happy lab tips from @elsa_pastor .
We take each point very seriously @ImperialHazelab especially the first and the last point 😍😂
