Application of fire safety engineering principles to the design of buildings -- Structural response to fire and fire spread beyond the enclosure of origin (Sub-system 3)
This Published Document provides a framework for developing a rational methodology for design using a fire safety engineering approach through the application of scientific and engineering principles to the protection of people, property and the environment from fire.
This Published Document considers the following issues:
the conditions that lead to fire spread beyond the enclosure of fire origin (see also Annex A);
the selection of design fires depending on the objectives of the assessment (see also Annex B);
the thermal and mechanical response of the enclosure boundaries and its structure to the fire conditions (see also Annex C and Annex D);
the impact of the anticipated thermal and mechanical responses on adjacent enclosures and spaces; and
the structural responses of loadbearing elements and their effect on structural stability, load transfer and acceptable damage according to the design and purpose of the building (see also Annex E and Annex F).
Annex G provides a methodology for establishing the extended application of fire resistance test results.
