Question: ( Assignment ) Determine the parametric fire curve for a fire compartment in an office building according to Annex A of Eurocode 1 Part 1

(Assignment)
Determine the parametric fire curve for a fire compartment in an office building according to Annex A of Eurocode 1 Part 1-2. The floors above and below the compartment are of reinforced concrete while the walls are of lightweight concrete; the walls have 8 openings.
Basic data
Dimensions of the fire compartment
Width =10m, Length =12m, Height =3.5m
Height of opening =1.5m, Width of opening =3m
The floor and ceiling are made from reinforced concrete =2300kgm3;,cp=840JkgK;,k=1.57WmK
The walls are made from lightweight concrete
=500kgm3;,cp=840JkgK;,k=0.22WmK
Assume further n for fire fighting measure =1.0 and medium fire growth rate.
