This volume provides the information and methodology needed to predict the thermal boundary condition for a fire over time. The methods contained herein are based on experimental measurements and correlations, and mostly give global rather than local results. Eventually, computational fluid dynamics methods for fire must be subjected to some of the same tests used here and judged accordingly for accuracy and application.

Details prediction of fires over time, heat transfer analysis of structural members, and response of the system Provides educational background to structural engineers Includes theoretical background for orientation, and examples to appreciate the process of calculation
