Abstract(s)

Pitched roof Steel frame structures are widely used in industrial buildings for practical reasons of exploitation, durability and cost efficiency. However, steel being a ductile material, it remains vulnerable to excessive temperatures. The recent accidents, which occurred in the industrial buildings of Sonatrach (petroleum industry in Algeria), in an urban area in Algiers or in an industrial zone in Skikda, remind us of the real danger and the potential risk of fire.
