Looking back some 10 or 20 years ago, the scientific community dealing with the problem of fire in buildings could, schematically, be divided into two separate groups; one group was dealing with the fire side of the problem and was considering that the temperature of 540°C was anything which had to be known concerning the structure of the building; the other group was investigating the behaviour of the structure, quite happy with the comfortable feeling that the ISO curve was a perfect representation of the fire.
The disadvantages of this situation with very little, if any, communication between the two groups progressively became more and more evident and people started to consider talking to each other and, even more, to widen their field of investigation and have a look into the other guy’s garden. Other aspects also came into consideration such the behaviour of human beings, risk analysis, etc. This evolution lead to the now widely accepted concept of Fire Safety Engineering which, simply saying, is nothing more than the fact that we are starting to treat the problem of Fire Safety in the way that engineers treat other problems, i.e. trying to do their best in order to take into consideration every phenomenon which is suspected to play a role.
