This compendium (No. RS/RSC/S10328/1/87/B) covers all the fire tests carried out in the UK, according to BS476: Part 8: 1972, on hot rolled structural steel members in which the sections were either completely unprotected, or partially protected by materials used only in the fabric of a structure, such as concrete, brick and blockwork. The information includes a detailed description of the design, preparation and construction of each type of test element and test data. The types of the test elements include floor beams, shelf angle floor beams, slim floor beams, columns and columns in walls.

This compendium (No. RS/R/S1199/8/88/B) is the second of the series on fire resistance tests to BS476, carried out in the UK, on hot rolled structural steel members. The report provides the test information on additional 10 tests on floor beams and shelf angle floor beams with unprotected steel sections. These tests were carried out in the light of revisions and the introduction of the following British Standards:

This compendium (No. SL/RS/R/S1199/15/90/B) is the third of the series on fire resistance tests to BS476, carried out in the UK, on hot rolled structural steel members. As a supplement to the two earlier compendia, the report contains additional thermal data of the longitudinal thermal gradients along simply supported floor beams.

The Behaviour of Unprotected Steel Floor Beams in the Standard Fire Resistance Test - Compendium of Predicted Temperature Profiles
by British Steel Technical, 1990

This compendium contains temperature profiles data predicted by the finite element programme FIRES-T2 for simulating the behaviour of unprotected structural steel beams supporting concrete floors in the BS476: Part 21 Fire Resistance Test. Predictions are included for all the universal beam sections produced by British Steel plc and in all cases are for a heating period of up to two hours.
