| Abstract: |
Analysis of the structural performance under realistic fire scenarios makes Performance Based Fire Engineering (PBFE) particularly suited to design fire protection of tall buildings. In this paper, the impact of using the PBFE method is studied using a standard tall building as an example. The parametric temperature- time curves recommended in Eurocode 1 are used to define the fire loads. The thermal and mechanical response of the building to the imposed fire loading is subsequently analyzed by means of a finite element model of the mixed-use tower. Particular care is devoted to analyzing the performance of a steel truss at a transfer level, to study potential global effects of a local fire, effects that are not studied or understood within the prescriptive design framework. |
