    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Considers the following issues: a) the conditions with a fire enclosure and their potential to cause fire spread by way of recognized mechanisms and routes; b) the thermal and mechanical responses of the enclosure boundaries and its structure to the fire conditions; c) the impact of these anticipated thermal and mechanical responses on adjacent enclosures and spaces.
