Men, Jinkun (author), Chen, Guohua (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Earthquake-triggered fire domino scenarios (E-FDSs) arise frequently from the interaction between earthquakes and chemical installations, resulting in catastrophic multi-hazard coupling events. The complicated mutually amplified phenomena between natural disasters and chemical accidents significantly aggravates the escalation of domino...journal article 2024

Men, Jinkun (author), Chen, Guohua (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Wu, Yue (author), Huang, Hailing (author)An earthquake-triggered fire domino scenario (E-FDS) is an example of a typical multi-hazard coupling event. The seismic damage can affect the fire resistance of engineering structures, leading to significant mutually amplified phenomena. In this work, a two-stage experimental program is designed to expound the earthquake-fire coupling...journal article 2024

Kinkel, E. (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Building fires can be considered a risk to the health and safety of occupants. Environmental factors in building fires might affect the speed of an evacuation. Therefore, in this study participants (N = 153) were tested in an experimental design for the effects of (1) a fire alarm, (2) darkness and (3) the use of emergency exit signs on...journal article 2024

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Cozzani, Valerio (author)Fire is one of the main accident scenarios occurring in chemical and process plants, and it can lead to domino effects due to thermal radiation. Emergency response is necessary to prevent fire escalation, in addition to safety barriers. In major industrial fire accidents, backup is usually required in emergency response, due to the lack of...journal article 2023

Bedon, Chiara (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Purpose: Glass material is largely used for load-bearing components in buildings. For this reason, standardized calculation methods can be used in support of safe structural design in common loading and boundary conditions. Differing from earlier literature efforts, the present study elaborates on the load-bearing capacity, failure time and...journal article 2023

Khan, Abul Amir (author), Garsa, Kalpana (author), Jindal, P. (author), Devara, P. C.S. (author)Every year at the onset of winter season (October–November), crop residue/parali/stubble burning starts in Punjab and Haryana, leading to heavy air pollution in Delhi, and adversely affecting human and environmental health. During this time, the combination of unfavourable meteorological conditions, additional emissions from stubble burning,...journal article 2023

Song, Jinlai (author), Cannatella, D. (author), Katsikis, N. (author)Wildfires are widely viewed as key evolving inputs of Mediterranean ecosystem. But anthropogenic climate changes and other socioecological recessions have transformed normal wildfire into megafire. The paradigm shift is needed since the suppression capacity has been increasingly overcome from the fire department. This research is aiming to...conference paper 2023

Yang, Yapin (author), Sun, Ying (author), Chen, Mingsi (author), Zhou, Yuekuan (author), Wang, Ran (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author)Fire at a construction site usually results in serious accidents. Therefore, fire management at the construction site is critical to decreasing possible accidents. However, conventional fire safety management can be problematic in many aspects, such as visualization, multi-stage alarm systems, and dynamic escape route optimization. To solve...journal article 2022

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)A fire accident is one the most dangerous accidents that may lead to knock-on effects, especially in the plants dealing with large quantities of hazardous substances. Different from other accidents, e.g., explosions, fires can last certain period of time and the thermal radiations emitted by them have a synergistic effect. At the same time, the...journal article 2022
