The potential for fuel reduction to reduce wildfire intensity in a warming California by Patrick T Brown, Scott J Strenfel, Richard B Bagley, Craig B Clements

“…We use machine learning to quantify relationships between sixteen environmental conditions (including ten fuel characteristics and four temperature-affected aridity characteristics) and satellite-observed fire radiative power. We use the derived relationships to create fire intensity potential (FIP) maps for sixty historical weather snapshots at a 2 km and hourly resolution. …”

Bioinspired self-flowing wood chemical treatment by Xuan Wang, Sheldon Q. Shi

“…A self-flowing process presented for the chemical treatment of wood is inspired by liquid transportation in trees during photosynthesis and tree growth, whereby liquid in the soil is brought through the natural vessels and/or fiber tracheids. In this process, wood lumbers are placed in a tank containing treatment chemicals such as preservatives, fire retardants, or reactive agents. …”

Experiment and calculation of high-temperature effect on tensile performance of GFRP rebars embedded in concrete by Weixue Qian, Chunhua Lu, Siqi Yuan, Hui Li

“…Finally, based on the concrete heat absorption characteristics and thermal degradation mechanism of bare GFRP rebars, a revised model was developed to predict the residual strength of 24mm-concrete covered GFRP rebars after high-temperature exposure. All the above achievements proposed here can advance the understanding of the fire resistance of GFRP rebars in concrete and inform strategies for structural fire protection design.…”
