. But some experts remain unconvinced by the study's conclusions. James Quintiere, of the University of Maryland, US, says he does not understand how fireproof insulation could have been dislodged from the buildings' floors and columns.
"Everything I see points to the fact that there may not have been enough insulation," he told New Scientist, adding that the fuel loads used in the report's calculations may have been too low.
And Barbara Lane, leader of the Structural Fire Group at UK engineering company Arup, adds: "[We] don't believe that [the dislodging of fireproof material] has been substantiated in any of the published data to date." She adds that it is difficult to extrapolate heat assessments of a material to what might happen when it is actually in place in a building.
Lane also questions recommendations concerning the use of thermally-resistant window assemblies to slow the spread of fire. "This is of considerable concern as even this form of glass can fail under direct flame impingement," she says.
The complete report is comprised of more than 10,000 pages, the preliminary 3400 pages of which were released on Tuesday. The remainder of the study is planned for release in July 2005, when the institute will also make recommendations concerning building design and construction.Comment
