- Abstract
- An example of fire accident which caused many fatalities by smoke and toxic gases coming through the fire door is discussed. Then the experimental results of deformation of steel plates under high temperature, and subsitute materials for steel, are also discussed. It is shown that the appropriate test method using measurement of the flow rate of air through assemblies is essential for establishment of safety in fire.
