Post-earthquake fire performance of fire door sets

Fire Safety Journal, 2022
This paper presents the results of an experimental cyclic and fire test program to investigate the fire performanceof fire door sets after experiencing simulated earthquake damage. The earthquake damage mimics that of a 35-story tall residential benchmark building subject to design earthquake intensity level, inducing an inter-storydrift of 55 mm ...
