      abstract = {This book addresses fire safety of combustible facade  systems which has gained much attention in recent times due  to several major fire accidents across the world where  combustible facade systems had a significant role in  enhancing the growth of fire. The Grenfell tower (London)  fire is one of the most severe accident in this category.  The book covers basic design and functional aspects of  commonly used facade systems along with the materials  typically used in such systems. Subsequently, it discusses  the currently available testing methods at component level,  intermediate level, and system level. It also provides  detailed case studies of six full-scale real fire facade  fire experiments that have been jointly carried out by IIT  Gandhinagar and Underwriters Laboratories at the full-scale  facade testing facility established at IIT Gandhinagar. The  book will enable designers and decision makers to make  better assessments regarding fire safety of existing and  upcoming facade systems. It also serves as a guide to  deciding which testing methods are more appropriate under  certain conditions.},
