Abstract
Small-scale compartment fire experiments and free burning experiments were carried out with single poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) slabs and three different PMMA crib geometries. In the compartment experiments, two different ventilation opening were used. The results show that the cribs do not melt down into a pool fire in either the compartment fire tests or the free burning tests. In addition, the results show that, in the compartment fire tests, the outer area of the cribs controls the fire behaviour whereas, in the free burning case, the total surface area of the crib controls the fire. The results provide valuable information on what fuel geometry to use in compartment fire experiments and what fuel area to use in mathematical fire modelling.
