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.
