Collapse of High Rise Building exposed to Accidental Fire

When the fire threats are to be evaluated, it is crucial to have a realistic description of the fire events (duration, extent, temperature, and more). Simulations of fires are performed utilizing Kameleon Fire EX (Prof. B. Magnussen et al, ComputIT ).

The data from the 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics are automatically transferred to the structural system, (computer code FAHTS)..
