Abstract(s)
This book gathers selected contributions presented during the 5th
Iberian-Latin-American Congress on Fire Safety (CILASCI), held in Porto,
Portugal, from 15–17 July 2019. The CILASCI is held once every two years, with
the aim of disseminating scientific and technical knowledge in the field of fire
safety, attracting different players involved in this area of knowledge.
The 5th Iberian-Latin-American Congress on Fire Safety reflected the new
developments achieved in a wide range of application areas. The papers included in
this book were selected out of 78 manuscripts (full papers), and five invited lectures,
written and presented during six parallel sessions from researchers around the
world (Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, France, Hong
Kong, Italy, Mozambique, Portugal, Spain, UK and USA).
The selected papers were peer-reviewed during and after the congress, and this
selection process has resulted in new, extended, revised and full original versions
covering the experimental analysis of materials and structures, the computational
modelling of structures and materials, the fire events in special buildings and
spaces, the architectural issues and evacuation topics for fire safety in buildings.
Fire safety has been advancing fast as a result of research, development and
innovation worldwide; the new research programmes, the support of new skilled
professionals and the existence of advanced training programmes in Fire Science
Technology are not only expected to increase the safety level of people, buildings
and products, but are also going to produce a positive impact in the economy of
each country and society.
The editors gratefully acknowledge the members of the scientific committee and
the experts who carried out the reviews of the manuscripts. They are also grateful to
the organizing committee from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and the School of
Engineering (ISEP) from the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, and the support from
the Luso-Brazilian Association for Fire Safety (ALBASCI) is also acknowledged.
