Abstract
AbstractIn the spring of 1977 seven real scale fire tests on flat roofs and wall linings were carried out with relatively small fire loads to simulate the early stages of a fire. Tests with large fire loads had already been performed. Five tests were carried out on insulated corrugated steel roof decks with a fire‐retardant EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam insulation of reduced flammability and one test with a non‐combustible mineral‐wool insulation. A seventh test was run to study the fire behaviour of corrugated asbestos cement roofs and wall linings with EPS foam insulations and fire loads of the same kind (wood cribs up to 200 kg) as before. The tests demonstrated both the advantages and the disadvantages of the different insulations for corrugated steel roof decks in case of fires before Flash‐over.
