Grant Activity:

Facade fire failures in buildings: a robust nanocomposite solution

Purpose:

This project aims to develop an innovative fire resistant composite faÃ§ade system which is also strong, lightweight, thermally efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The project expects to develop new knowledge in areas of fire safety and advanced manufacturing of a nanocomposite facade utilising advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations to model the external flame spread. The outcomes will provide improved insight into the mechanism of external fire spread and development of the faÃ§ade system which is safe, resilient and fire resistant. This work will be useful for building owners, construction authorities and researchers to tackle the global issues of combustible faÃ§ades and provide better fire design strategies to protect occupants.
