Proceedings of the 1st European Workshop Fire Safety of Green Buildings

With the 1st European Workshop “Fire Safety of Green Buildings” the COST Action FP1404 continues the way started with the successful working group meeting, held in Barcelona, Spain on 20th–21st April 2015, to provide a common understanding about the fire safe use of bio based building products and a more harmonized and stronger market for these products. The aim of this Workshop is to present the state of the art, with recent developments in fire safety of bio based building products and construction. The Workshop provides experts and practitioners a chance to present and discuss their research activities and work at European level and establish collaborations. Within the Workshop the following topics have been covered: material properties, modification and assessment methods for bio based materials, contribution of bio based materials to fire scenarios, overall structural fire behaviour under standard and natural fire conditions, fire safe detailing and execution, risk methods and safety concepts, fire statistics and intervention, application of structural fire engineering, best practice examples.
