We can now proceed to the next level! 🚀 #PhDDefense #Research #Milestone #Innovation
About us
Home of the Structural Fire Engineering team of Ghent University, Belgium, combining research with SFE services to industry, and providing SFE education to the next generation of fire engineers. The team has specific expertise in using probabilistic methods and risk-based approaches. "Towards understanding the performance of structures during and after fire, the associated consequence, as well as the methods used for their assessment, in order to support societal decision making on structural fire safety and to develop design formats and assessment methods, as well as training and compliance procedures, in order to achieve an adequate level of structural fire safety in accordance with stakeholder expectations" Team Members: - Ruben Van Coile - Thomas Thienpont - Balsa Jovanovic - Evelien Symoens - Ranjit Kumar Chaudhary - Ticho Ooms - Florian Put - Mengying Peng Research projects and focus - Performance-based design of structures and structural elements in natural fires - Post-fire assessment of structures - Multi-dimensional lifetime optimization of structural fire safety - Probabilistic risk assessment in fire safety engineering - Application of advanced surrogate modelling techniques to structural fire engineering (machine learning)

What do thermocouples actually measure in the decay and cooling phases of a fire? Florian investigated this using CFD simulations of an idealized setup. He found that thermocouple measurements are very strongly influenced by the lining temperature - and definitely should not be interpreted as measuring local "gas temperatures". As expected maybe... but we did not foresee to see such big effects. Next, Florian will be investigating concrete properties in the cooling phase at Politecnico di Milano with Roberto Felicetti, as part of his Research Foundation Flanders - FWO research project. #SFE #decay #cooling
Hopefully an interesting paper for anyone performing experiments, in particular temperature measurements, or numerical simulations in the context of fire. Please read Florian's put paper to quantify the difference between gas temperatures and thermocouple temperatures when there is smoke: https://lnkd.in/eTnhiCEk IMFSE MFSE @ Ghent University

Welcome Ramin Yarmohammadian ! Ramin is joining us having completed his PhD on concrete spalling at Politecnico di Milano. Ramin has lots of experience on testing and fire behavior of concrete, having worked under the supervision of Roberto Felicetti. More announcements coming up soon...
I am thrilled to announce that I've started my post-doc at UGent, joining the SFE group (SFE @ UGent) under the supervision of Professor Ruben Van Coile. I'll be contributing to the EU-funded Adaptive Fire Testing (AFireTest) project, which aims to revolutionize fire safety science through innovative adaptive fire tests and advanced modeling techniques. Excited to be part of this cutting-edge research! for more info, you can check the following link: https://lnkd.in/dGs4dhv9 #PostDoc #GhentUniversity #FireSafety #Engineering #Innovation #AFireTest #EuropeanUnion #Research

**🔍 What fire rating is optimal? 🔥** If you missed Mengying P.'s presentation last month at SiF2024, you can now watch a recording here. Key Takeaway for structural/fire engineers : Increasing fire resistance ratings beyond prescriptive requirements may give the client a net benefit when considering the structure's lifetime performance. The presented work is part of the project "Economic Impact of Fire: Cost and Impact of Fire Protection in Buildings" funded by the NFPA Research Foundation.
