Room contents. Blast effects; Array tests Author's Abstract Simple 1/16-scale structural fires, employing models fabricated from particle board, were used to assist m the predictability of mass-fire djmamics. Nme-unit array tests of simultaneously burning models were conducted as part of this program The rates of fire development for the outer eight and for the center models m the array bums were evaluated separately Models were also burned singly to evaluate the effects of the following parameters on the fire growth and spread m buildings (1) smgle and multiple igmtions within the buildmg, (2) combustible celling materials and room contents, and (3) structural damage from blast effects.
