Abstract


An introduction to the phenomenon of fire and the variables which determine its severity, with respect to the building, the space in which it takes place and the component materials of the elements critical to fire: sectioning and structure. Fire-stress and fire-proofing are defined. After a description of the most frequent types of buildings, the study questions both the method of adopting as important a stress value independent of the material and the method denominated equivalent time, which expresses stress in terms of time on the standardized test curve. Nevertheless, the second is considered most sound and the author suggests improvements designed to eliminate some of its shortcomings.
