The mechanical characteristics of a high impact polyethylene composite (HIPC) reinforced with abaca fibre (AF) are investigated in relation to fibre loading. An alkaline behaviour was used to improve the characteristics of the abaca fibre. With a fibre length of 100 mm, five different fibre loadings of the abaca fibre were used to create the samples of the composite (25, 35, 45, 55, and 65 wt percent). The object was made using compression moulding with unidirectional fibre orientation. The influence of fibre loading was investigated using tensile, hardness, and density tests. In an experiment, it was shown that with 55 percent fibre loading, tensile strength was 312 percent higher than without, and Young’s modulus was 545 percent higher than without. While this was happening, the hardness and density of the AF/PE composites were found to be quite similar, with minor increases from 25 wt percent to 65 wt percent AF loading in comparison to the control sample’s zero wt percent AF loading. 67.42 Shore-D and 1.014 g/cm3 are the highest values. The alkaline treatment of the AF/PE composite had a substantial influence on mechanical characteristics, according to the findings.

Stairway used as an escape as well as firefighter’s route during evacuation. In addition, stairway connecting different floors of a building and becomes a path for the smoke spread in fire event. In a building, every escape route should be installed with smoke control system to ensure the prevention of dangerous smoke accumulation at those areas. The fire perimeter in terms of heat output and smoke generation is highly depends on building occupancy and the efficacy of smoke confinement may have a great challenge. In this paper, numerical simulations were conducted to study the efficacy of natural smoke vent to confine fire-induced smoke transportation in the stairways of multi-storeys buildings. The simulation used Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) was conducted on a full-scale building where the influences of smoke vent opening at different fire size were discussed. When the value of heat release rate (HRR) were kept constant, the different vent’s size opening had a different influence on the efficacy of smoke vent and an appropriate opening size was obtained and proposed for further action. The finding of this study can assist the fire engineer to ensure that the smoke vent installation play a good role in confinement of smoke diffusion.
