Influence of Fire Exposition of Fibre-Cement Boards on Their Microstructure.

The diagnostics of materials, elements and structures after fire exposure are very complicated. Researchers carrying out such diagnostics encounter difficulties at the very beginning, e.g.

Assessment of the Destruction of a Fibre Cement Board Subjected to Fire in a Large-Scale Study.

This article presents the results of a study involving the assessment of the structural destruction of fibre cement boards taken from a large-scale model subjected to fire. These were subjected to a three-point bending test using the acoustic emission method. The analysis of the obtained results took into account the course of bending stresses σ, the modulus of rupture (MOR), the number of acoustic emission events N and the sum of EA events ∑N.

Reduction of Load Capacity of Fiber Cement Board Facade Cladding under the Influence of Fire.

The paper analyzes the issue of the reduction of load capacity in fiber cement board during a fire. Fiber cement boards were put under the influence of fire by using a large-scale facade model. Such a model is a reliable source of knowledge about the behavior of facade cladding and the way fire spreads.

Identification of the Destruction Model of Ventilated Facade under the Influence of Fire.

Ventilated facades are becoming an increasingly popular solution for external part of walls in the buildings. They may differ in many elements, among others things: claddings (fiber cement boards, HPL plates, large-slab ceramic tiles, ACM panels, stone cladding), types of substructures, console supports, etc. The main part that characterizes ventilated facades is the use of an air cavity between the cladding and thermal insulation.
