Full-scale burning tests on double-skin facade fires
Fire hazard of an architectural feature with double-skin facade is a concern. An identified scenario of having a post-flashover room fire adjacent to the facade was studied experimentally in a rig of 6 m tall. Eight tests of cavity depths including a wide value of 2 m, normal values of 1.5 m and 1 m and a narrow value of 0.5 m under a room flashover fire of 1200 kW were carried out. From the measured air temperature profiles inside the facade cavity, the chance of breaking the interior glass pane above the fire room is therefore very high.
