Quantitative flashover modeling
Empirical models for flashover

Flashover modeling was initiated in Japan after the Second World War in order to estimate the load-bearing capacity of concrete buildings after a fire, in particular to predict the residual seismic resistance, and thus the relevance of repairing a building or not. K. Kawagoe's article summarizes the research undertaken in Japan on this subject since 1945. As the models have been perfected, their use has expanded, with the aim of :
