6. Towards use in fire safety engineering
Today, models used to predict the fire behavior of systems and structures are beginning to incorporate pyrolysis models
Nevertheless, moving from the scale of the material to that of the real fire requires many intermediate steps, as the change of scale involves considering many factors, all of which can have a considerable influence on the prediction of fire behavior.
