Abstract
Certain principles of fire endurance, considering both the thermal and the structural role of different parts and materials of a building, are described. Thermal movements and stresses, restraint in compression and flexural members, the design of supports and fastenings are discussed. Three examples - steel studs, steel joists, suspended ceilings - are used to illustrate how to manage certain problems by applying the principles explained in the paper.
