Study of the Law of Flame Spread Over Wooden Beams and Their Frames
To investigate the flame spread over wood and its influence on the practical scene of a fire, wooden beams are chosen as a research object. By means of experimental methods, several main factors influencing flame spread over wooden beams are discussed. A formula about the flame spreading speeds versus orientations, geometric sizes and surrounding temperatures has been summarized. Combustion tests about wooden frames with small sizes show that under the circumstances of lower combustion intensity the results of flame spread over single wooden beams are basically suitable for the wooden components of the frames. Because of the interaction between the components of the frames, the flame spreading speed of a certain component is faster than burning alone. For wooden frames with bigger sizes, while using the results of the single wooden beams, the interaction of the caloric given by the combustion of wooden components during the processes of flame spread must be considered.
