Joint US-USSR Seminar on Mathematical Methods for Estimating the Fire Endurance of Structural Assemblies

摘要

This is the first of a series of planned yearly joint seminars on specific applied fire safety research topics. The Soviet papers were translated into English by the Soviets, but editorial changes have been made by U.S. personnel who are expert in the particular subject. It is intended that the original authors' meanings have not been changed. In some cases, the U.S. presentations are not yet available as published papers, or were summaries of work that has already been published elsewhere. Hence, one of the U.S. presentations is in the form of slides and commentary. These presentations, in the form given, are intended to represent up-to-date U.S. technology.
