The
Behaviour of a Multi-storey Steel Framed Building
Subjected to Fire Attack
Experimental Data
by British Steel plc, 1998
Between 1995 and 1997, British Steel's Swinden
Technology Centre, co-sponsored by the European Coal and Steel
Community (ECSC) with TNO (The Netherlands) and CTICM (France)
as partners, carried out a fire research programme on a modern
multi-storey composite steel framed structure built within the
BRE large scale test facility at Cardington. The research programme
aimed to understand and develop numerical calculation procedures
that are capable of describing and predicting the structural behaviour
of modern multi-storey composite steel framed buildings subject
to fire attack. This involved four major fire tests being carried
out on different parts of the frame to study various aspects of
structural behaviour and included a real full scale demonstration
fire in an open plan office. This document and the accompanying
test data has been prepared so that researchers in the field of
Fire Safety Engineering have ready access to the actual data electronically
logged during each of the four fire tests.

Client Report: Results and Observations from Full-Scale
Fire Test at BRE Cardington, 16 January 2003
by Building Research Establishment, 2004
This report has been prepared at the request of Mr
J Dowling of Corus Construction to document the results
and observations from a full-scale fire test carried out on the steel
framed building
at BRE's Cardington laboratory in January 2003. Corus
Construction are interested in gaining access to the test results in
order to further
develop their understanding of the behaviour of steel
structures in fire and to promote the effective use of steel in construction.
The
test took place as a result of a collaborative research
project between BRE, the University of Prague, the University of Coimbra
and the University
of Braticlava.
This report summaries the test information including the test parameters
and instrumentation arrangement. The detailed results, including displacements,
temperatures and strains recorded during the tests, are available in
excel files for download as follows:
The audio-visual records of the observations before, during and after
the tests, are available for viewing and download in the power point
presentations as follows:
