: Using Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to "see" exactly how smoke and heat move.

Known as , this document defines fire as an action . It doesn't tell you how to build a steel beam—it tells you how the fire will "attack" it. Thermal Actions : How hot the air gets. Fire design of steel structures: Eurocode 1: ac...

: These account for the size of the windows, the wall material, and how much fuel (desks, paper) is actually in the room. : Using Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to "see"

Historically, fire design was —you just had to survive a standard furnace test (the ISO 834 curve) for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Eurocode 1 revolutionized this by offering two paths: Nominal Fires (The Old Way) : the wall material
