They are easy to use but often unrealistic because they never cool down. : Known as , this document defines fire as an action

: Used when a fire only affects one corner of a massive warehouse. : How the loads (furniture, people, snow) change

Simple time-temperature curves like the or Hydrocarbon curve .

: Fire is treated as an "accidental action," meaning we don't expect it to happen every day, so we allow for different safety margins than for normal wind or weight. The Evolution of the "Design Fire"

: Using Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to "see" exactly how smoke and heat move.
