Abstract

Performance-based building regulations require an engineering foundation for establishing the types of calculations to be made and the methods for computing to be used. In the case of fire safety provisions of regulations, appropriate principles of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) must be defined and delineated. During the last several years, the British Standards Institution has been developing a Code of Practice
