1006) On Fire Resistance Ratings and Materials

Guideline on Fire Ratings of Archaic Materials and Assemblies

In the process of repair and alteration of existing buildings, based on the nature and the extent of the work, the IEBC might require certain upgrades in the fire resistance rating of building elements, at which time it becomes critical for the designers and the code officials to be able to determine the fire resistance rating of the existing building elements as part of the overall evaluation ...

Combustion and fire retardance in polymeric materials

Fire damage on carbon fiber materials characterized by THz waves

We apply THz imaging technology to evaluate fire damage to a variety of carbon fiber composite samples. The majority of carbon fiber materials have polarization-dependent reflectivities in the THz frequency range, and we show how the polarization dependence changes versus the burn damage level. Additionally, time domain information acquired through a THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) system pr...
