Abstract
[Abstract in English] A full scale fire test for atrium building roof constructions has been developed on the basis of a test arrangement used at the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory. The test is carried out on a traditional horizontal furnace. The ISO 834 standard curve is employed. When reaching a furnace temperature of 300 deg C, it is kept constant for 30 minutes. Thereafter it continues according to the standard curve. This period with 300 deg C is representing the situation with a smoke layer that is developed in an atrium building. The rest of the standard fire temperature is representing a situation when flames reach the roof construction.
