- Abstract
- Structural design of a fire exposed building or part of a building presupposes knowledge of the temperature-time curve of the process of fire development. This knowledge is fundamental and futher progress towards more realistic design was therefore seriously impended by the fact that existing methods permitted these curves to be computed for the flame phase study only. The cooling period could not be dealth with. this paper extends and improves these methods so that the temperature-time curve for the complete course of the fire, the cooling period included, could be obtained.
