Natural fire safety concept - the development and validation of a cfd-based engineering methodology forevaluating thermal action on steel and composite structures

Objectif

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.
