Abstract

In this article, the behavior of a compartment under real fire scenarios has been studied .The fire model OZONE is employed in order to predict the temperature development in the fire compartment. The influence of different parameters such as fire area, active measures, opening factor, compartment area, compartment height, compartment rectangularity, type and boundary wall thickness, presence of protection, shape of protection and type of protection on the steel beams inside the compartment has been investigated. The fire resistance for the steel beams was calculated and a comparison between the results was carried out.
