Objective The project, complementary to the European projects on the "Natural Fire Safety Concept", is aimed at the development and validation of advanced CFD- based engineering methodology for evaluating thermal action on steel/composite structures and its impact on the fire-related EuroCodes (EC1 and EC3). The validated methodology will provide detailed information about the local thermal exposures and temperatures throughout the structure when exposed to 'natural fires'. This would allow a designer to optimise the structure with associated cost savings. It will offer a potential alternative to fire-resistance tests and a cost-effective means for assessing the calibration and sensitivity of the traditional calculation methods used in the design guides.
