First-year 3FiRES Booklet. Workshop and network updates about Research on BIPV Photovoltaic Facades for Fire Spread Mechanisms, Structural Failures and Resilience Improvement Methodologies

The First-year 3FiRES Booklet is a collection of research outcomes and advancements from the first year of scientific activities for the running “Particular Relevance” Italy-China bilateral project, which involves the University of Trieste (Principal Investigator Chiara Bedon) and the University of Science and Technology of China (Principal Investigator Prof. Yu Wang). Most of research contributions that are collected in this book have been orally presented during the “First-year 3FiRES Workshop” international event, that took place at the University of Trieste, on October 7th, 2024. It represented a very efficient and constructive networking opportunity, for the involved research units on the Italian and Chinese side, as well as for several international experts and students, with both engineering and architectural background, and this confirms the high multidisciplinary and innovative nature of the project topic. This first-year booklet also represents a strategic opportunity of networking and scientific growth, thanks to the research contributions and the research experiences that are shared by members of the extended and highly multidisciplinary 3FiRES network.
