- Abstract
- The complex interactions between a building and a fire are being studied using the NBS computer facility. A description of a building for computer use has been developed. Sufficient detail is provided with an easily manageable amount of input data to allow a representation commensurate with the uncertainty in the exact configuration of the building.
