Abstract

In addition to the evaluation of individual materials entering the building structure, there was a need to evaluate the building structure as a whole. The fire resistance of building structures began to be evaluated under the conditions in which the structure works in the building. Test methods for ignition and burning of materials have a history (see Chap. 3). The evaluation of constructions for fire resistance also has its own history. István Moder processed the chronology of important stages in the improvement of the regulations for testing the fire resistance of building structures. We present these stages in Tables 7.1 and 7.2.
