Competitive steel buildings through Natural Fire Safety Concept

Obiettivo

The aim of this research is to collect and complete existing worldwide know-how in natural fire engineering in order to form a consistent state of the art Natural Fire Safety Concept (NFSC). This NFSC - including the performance of entire steel structures, natural fire curves and active fire protection measures - will then be applied to the design of real buildings throughout Europe. A design method will be established to provide the means of calculating natural heating conditions, function of the presumed fire load and rate of heat release, the ventilation conditions, the building or compartment geometry, the efficiency of sprinklers, the influence of automatic openings and compartmentation. Probabilistic procedures will also be established to quantify the fire danger which depends upon, on the one hand, the building contents, the type and use of the building, and on the other hand, on the active fire protection measures. This should lead to a classification defining either far more realistic requirements than the present ISO fire requirements (R30, R60 or R90), or the final natural fire curve which would have a greater probability of occurring.
