Abstract
Fire engineering design for steel buildings is a recent discipline whi ch is progressing constantly and dynamically. The Eurocodes enable now to design in a uniform way all over Europe. However, the main part of the methods described in the Eurocodes is based on the ISO curve. Thi s paper describes a fire safety probabilistic concept based on natural and realistic fire curves including the effect of active fire fightin g measures.
