Structural fire engineering of unusual steel structures

Which of the following were identified as differences between the standard fire tests and what happens in fires in the types of large, complex buildings which were the subject of this presentation?

Real fires often involve non-uniform heating
Real fires often involve heating of only part of the structure
The standard fire test will always be more severe than a real fire
Real fires often create significant thermal expansion in the structure

Which one of the following best describes the fire scenarios that were assessed as being likely to cause the greatest threat to the stability of the atrium structure at the ME Hotel?

Sprinklered global fire
Unsprinklered global fire
Sprinklered localised fires
Unsprinklered localised fires

Which of the following were the drivers for the decision to undertake a fire safety engineering approach at the D. Y . Patil School of Management?

The use of bare, unprotected steel had to be shown to be safe
The fire resistance requirements in the National Building Code appeared to be unduly onerous compared to international norms.
Ensuring the stability of the unusual structural framing option in a fire
All of the above

Which of the following describes the fire protection strategy adopted in the atrium structure in the ME Hotel?

120 minutes fire resistance on all steelwork between ground floor and 2nd floor. 60 minutes fire resistance to all steelwork above that.
120 minutes fire resistance to all steelwork between ground floor and 2nd floor. 60 minutes fire resistance to the columns only above that.
120 minutes fire resistance to all steelwork between ground floor level and 1st floor. 60 minutes fire resistance to all steelwork between 1st floor and 2nd floor. 60 minutes fire resistance to the corner columns running to top floor with the remainder of the atrium steelwork unprotected.
None of the above

Which of the following were part of the process of structural response modelling at the ME Hotel in London?

Define the design fire
Calculate the heat transfer of the structure
Calculate the response of the structure at the elevated temperature
All of the above
