Fire Protection

Based on experimental and numerical investigations, research at the Institute of Building Physics includes smoke propagation in complex buildings, the load-bearing behaviour of components under simultaneous mechanical and thermal stress, and the development of building products and construction methods with regard to fire performance.

Literature and completed works

  • "On the shear load-bearing capacity of timber components under fire exposure" – Dr.-Ing. Astrid Schwedler
  • "Approximate formulas for spill plumes in atria of variable size" – Dr.-Ing. Hendrik Belaschk

Example research projects in fire protection

  • Smoke simulation
