Large Compartment Fire Tests on a Full-Scale Eight Storey Building
Author: T. LennonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Composite structures
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
A series of fire tests have been undertaken on a purpose built eight storey, three bay by five bay steel frame building with composite floors and overall dimensions 33.5m by 21m by 45m. The building has been constructed at the BRE's Large Building Test Facility at Cardington, near Bedford, England. As part of the overall fire programme, BRE have carried out fire tests on a compartment (9m x 6m) representative of a corner office and a large compartment (21m x 18m) representative of a large open plan office. The objectives of the programme are to examine the behaviour of multi-storey steel-framed buildings subject to real fires and to use the data from the tests to validate computer models for structural analysis at elevated temperatures. The work will provide substantial benefits and produce high quality data which will inform decisions on the degree of fire protection required for steel framed buildings, which could significantly reduce costs while maintaining existing levels of safety.

Fire Tests on Two System-built Houses

ISBN: 9780116705082
Category : Buildings, Prefabricated
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Full-scale fire tests have been carried out on two system-built houses with structural steel frames, designed to comply with the basic principles of fire protection; individual elements were incorporated whose fire resistance had been confirmed by furnace test techniques. The performance of the structure as a whole when subjected to fire conditions of a severity typical of a dwelling fire was investigated and where possible compared with the results of furnace tests. The ad hoc test also allowed investigation of factors such as the performance of joints and the interaction of structures which could only be studied on laboratory scale if composite furnace facilities were available. Using a protected steel stanchion as a calorimeter a method of assessing the equivalent fire resistance in terms of duration on the furnace test was used to confirm if the individual elements and the junctions between them provided the required standard of fire performance. The results of the first test showed that, although the overall performance of the houses under normal loading conditions was satisfactory, minor modifications were necessary to ensure that the appropriate degree of fire resistance could be achieved under conditions of full design load.
