Calculation Method for Structural Fire Resistance. Calculation Method Validation
Authors: Diana Ancas, Bogdan Ungureanu
Abstract: The paper concisely presents the calculation methods of structural fire resistance for buildings, the conditions that an advanced calculation method should accomplish in order to be used for calculation, and also the additional validation of numeric analysis programme SAFIR for fire stressed structures. The validation is achieved using the results of a fire test relevant for numeric calculation validation of fire resistance for structural pillars of Bucharest Tower Center, and that is the fire test of the octagonal pillar with cross steel profiles, with concrete between the visible blooms of steel profiles, tested by ARBED – RECHERCHES Luxembourg.
