| Shrnutí: | Many studies and observations of large building fires show that in large compartments, fires do not burn uniformly. Rather, fires will burn locally and move across a floor plate as fuel is consumed. Currently fire engineering practice assumes uniformly burning fires within a compartment and the fire design methodologies are based upon small compartment fire scenarios. Traveling fire modeling that accounts for fire dynamics is essential for performance-based fire engineering. This paper reviews two traveling fire models presented in literature and implements both models on a steel-frame building. An advanced analysis of the building is performed and the fire performance of the building in these travel fire scenarios are compared to the fire performance of the building when subjected to conventional fire exposure scenarios (full story fires or compartment fires). The authors then illustrate the use of structural fire engineering methodologies to improve the fire resistance of the building. |
