An Investigation into the Behaviour of Light Gauge Steel Structures under Fire Conditions

这项研究显然将产生重大的国家利益，通过改进防火结构，潜在地减少生命损失、财产损失和降低保险费率。由于使用高强度钢，澳大利亚制造商将在国际上拥有领先优势。澳大利亚有机会成为火灾研究领域的世界领先者。该项目将帮助开发耐火预制建筑系统。IN还为澳大利亚年轻人提供有价值的研究培训。最重要的是，它将有助于澳大利亚在保护其关键基础设施方面的重大举措。

This research will clearly result in a major national benefit with potential reduction in loss of life, loss of property and reduced insurance rates with improved fire resistant construction. Australian maufacturers will have a leading edge internationally with the use of high strength steels. There is an opportunity for Australia to become a world leader in an area of fire research. The project will assist in developing fire resistant prefabricated building systems. In also provides valuable research training to young Australians. Most importantly it will contribute to Australia's major initiatives in protecting its critical infrastructure.
