| dc.description.abstract | Most building structures are required by design codes to be able to resist fire. However, until recently the manner in which fire loading has been handled by codes has been different to the manner in which other loads such as gravity, wind and earthquake have been handled. Whereas it has been normal to ensure structures are able to resist these sorts of loads by means of rationally based calculations, fire resistance is conventionally assessed by reference to a test known as the Standard Fire Test. This test bears little relation to the kind of fires that are likely to occur in real structures and requires that the structural system tested bears very little resemblance to the behaviour of any but the simplest real structures.
