This paper investigates a performance-based approach for assessment of performance of Concrete Filled Tubular (CFT) column in an open car part fire. The selected fire scenario involves 4 cars around the column on the lowest deck of a multi-storey car park. A full-scale car fire simulation is performed in FDS software. Coupling between CFD and FEM is presented to provide… Czytaj więcej »Numerical investigation of fire and post-fire performance of CFT columns in an open car park fire

Hot smoke tests are a useful methodology to verify the performance of an installed smoke control solution in buildings and other structures such as underground car parks, tunnels, metro stations etc. Although hot smoke tests in buildings typically utilize a heat source which is significantly smaller than the design fire for which the smoke control system was designed, they nevertheless… Czytaj więcej »Hot smoke tests – lessons for better design of fire protection systems
