The temperature distributions across
the section of the steel beam and the depth of the slab are assumed to be invariant with
position within the fire compartment. These temperature distributions at any time in the test
are the averages of the recorded test temperature distributions at this time across the beam and
slab. The maximum recorded temperatures of the bottom flange, web and top flange were
834°C, 816°C, and 764°C respectively, and the maximum recorded temperatures of the
bottom and top layers of the slabs were 481°C and 129°C respectively
