Sažetak
According to current scientific research findings in the field of fires, their breakout and growth, it is not possible to predict the where and when a fire might break out. Fires in industrial objects can be caused by various factors, the most significant being man. The products of a fire are: the de-velopment of high temperatures and great quantities of smoke in enclosures. High temperatures in-fluence the supporting structure of the building, while smoke threatens humans, since most loss of life in fires is caused by smoke inhalation. This paper deals only with the effect of high tempera-tures upon the load-bearing steel structure. During the last few years significant efforts have been made in scientific research to understand the process of the breakout of fires and their growth so that there is a specific scientific discipline referred to as “ Fire Science” . These problems have been dealt with in ENV 1991-2-2: 1995, wherein fire action is classified as heat action, i.e. accidental action in the classification of various actions. Heat actions are defined by: nominal temperature-time curve and parametric fire exposure. Parametric fire exposures have been only initiated and it has been left to each country to solve this within the National Application Documents which is one of the main tasks of this paper.
