Item Computational Fluid Dynamic analysis of water mist system performance for fire safety of a nineteenth century cast-iron structured building(2010) De La Quintana, J.; Aurtenetxe, J.; Morente, F.; Ugartetxe, R.; Policies for Innovation and Technology; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTESA performance based analysis was the key to solve a serious compromise for an historic building caused by the strict requirements of the fire regulations. The cast iron structure behaviour was analised in detail considering the effect of a fire suppression system as an alternative to passive protection that may have caused the beautiful structure to disappear under it.Item Fire safety engineering analysis of a single storey framed building based on structural global behaviour(2007) Morente, F.; De La Quintana, J.; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTES; Policies for Innovation and TechnologyAn optimized cold design based steel industrial hall has been chosen to develop a FSE analysis, with the aim of developing cost-effective steel solutions for industrial buildings, taking advantage of a reduced passive protection.Item A new model for transient heat transfer model on external steel elements(2008-06) Chica, J. A.; Morente, F.; SG; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTESThe Eurocode system provides limited information regarding the structural fire design of external steel structures. Eurocode 1 provides thermal action for external member but only in steady-state conditions. On the other hand, Eurocode 3 provides a methodology to determine heat transfer to external steelwork, but there is no distinction in cross section shapes and, in addition, the calculated temperature distribution is assumed to be uniform in the cross section. This paper presents the results of a research carried out to develop a new transient heat transfer model for external steel elements to improve the current approach of the Eurocodes. This research was carried out as part of the project EXFIRE "Development of design rules for the fire behaviour of external steel structures", funded by the European Research Programme of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).Item Transient heat transfer model on external steel elements and external hollow steel sections filled with concrete(2007) Morente, F.; Chica, J. A.; E&I SEGURAS Y RESILIENTES; SGA new model has been developed by LABEIN TECNALIA within the RFCS project "Development of design rules for the fire behaviour of external steel structures", improving the Eurocode's model.
