Abstract
Provides technical data and guidance on defining a robust and appropriate design fire for use in the fire safety engineering design of a building. Explains: what a design fire is; how it can be determined; the limitations of current methodologies; experimental data; calculation methods. Current approaches to defining an appropriate design fire are also described in detail. Can be used to source quantifiable parameters such as heat release rates and fire growth rates that are proportionate to the fire hazard foreseen.
