HMCS NTUA Participation in COST Action FP1404 – First Training School “Fire design of wood and other bio-based building products”, University of Edinburgh 3rd to 5th of October, 2016.
Dionysios Kolaitis talk on multi scale methods for compartment fires.
First Training School of COST Action FP1404 at the University of Edinburgh – 3rd to 5th of October, 2016
This TS will explore the issues around fire safety of buildings in which the structure if formed of bio based materials. The TS will focus on the underlying fire science and implications for the building structure. Speakers include Guillermo Rein (Imperial College London), Dionysios Kolaitis (NTUA Athens), Ulf Wickstrom (Lulea University), Rory Hadden and Luke Bisby (University of Edinburgh).
There are two days of ‘classroom’ activities including topics of heat transfer in timber, pyrolysis modelling and structural design. Lab classes will cover topics of compartment fire dynamics and structure response. The final day will allow you to present your work and receive comments from the Training School Teachers. One important aspect is that you will be expected to spend time on your presentation reflecting on how what you have learned in the Training School will impact on your research.
