PD ISO/TR 12471:2004

This standard PD ISO/TR 12471:2004 Computational structural fire design. Review of calculation models, fire tests for determining input material data and needs for further development is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.220.50 Fire-resistance of building materials and elements

This Technical Report gives a review of the advances that have been made in measuring and understanding how structural materials respond to fire in terms of changes in their elevated temperature, and physical and mechanical characteristics, and to identify areas where further work is necessary to generate the data required. Analytical methods for heat transfer are combined with mechanical models to calculate structural behaviour from single elements up to complete frames under real fire and ISO Standard furnace heating conditions. This Technical Report reviews advances in computational analysis and indicates how these can be used with probabilistic analysis to provide a risk-based approach to structural fire engineering design.
