A fire safety engineering lab that models how fires burn.
AboutAbout the lab
Modeling how fires burn
The Matsuyama Lab studies how fires burn (fire behavior) in the field of fire safety engineering.
Its research topic is the development of fire behavior models used in performance-based fire safety design (performance-based design).
Titles of recent papers include the heating characteristics of fire resistance furnaces, fire-resistant timber beams for taller timber buildings, and the burning behavior of seats for railway vehicles.
Key terms
- Fire behavior
- The way a fire burns when it occurs, including properties such as how it produces heat and smoke
- Performance-based design
- A design approach that, instead of following fixed specifications, specifies the performance a building must satisfy and verifies safety against it
NewsLab news
