Dr. Carvel (PredFireNano) Dr. Switzer (STAR) Prof. Rivera (FireParadox) The Fire Safety Engineering Group • Prof. Dougal Drysdale (Emeritus) • Prof Jose L. Torero (Fire dynamics) • Dr Gillie (Structures in fire) • Dr Welch (Fire dynamics) • Dr Asif Usmani (Structures in fire) • Dr Rein (Fire dynamics, solid combustion) • Dr Stratford • Dr Gerhard
Current Interests • Design against fire • Understand structural behaviour in fire • Design against it • Move away from simple fire protection • Full-scale fire tests at Dalmarnock • Large-scale finite element models • Cooling of structures • Locked in stresses • Travelling fire (vertically and horizontally) • Rehabilitation of structures • FireGrid • Integrated response to emergencies • Real-time computing • sensing
