This report describes the theory and equations currently used in the model as at v2021.1, and presents benchmarking and char depth validation information.
A variety of New Zealand made Pinus radiata engineered wood products were tested in a cone calorimeter to determine key combustion properties, including time to ignition and heat release rate...
While escape route pressurisation systems have been used for some time in New Zealand buildings as part of the fire safety strategy, there is little data and many questions about...
An investigation into fire resistance requirements applied to external walls located near a property boundary in single-storey industrial and warehouse buildings in New Zealand has been carried out. Currently specified...
This is the final report of research into fire spread from lower roofs. This project is part of the larger BRANZ medium-density housing (MDH) research programme. As New Zealand building...
This report provides B-RISK users with guidance on the use and application of the fire modelling software as well as describing the assumptions and underlying physics upon which the computer...
A series of reduced-scale fire experiments have been conducted to better understand the phenomena of flames projected from a single compartment opening, which can lead to vertical fire spread up...
Technical Recommendation 8 describes a rational design procedure that applies to structural engineering principles and material properties at elevated temperature to the calculation of fire resistance of reinforced or prestressed...
The purpose of the guide is to enable the effective use of passive fire protection including providing the right product and installing it correctly in the right situation. It describes...
