Abstract:
On 4 December 1991 one of the most impressive
full-building fire tests of recent history was conducted
in Japan. The test building comprised a portion of a
three-storey apartment building and was built 1 1/2
units wide; that is to say, the test building included
three complete apartments, flanked on one side by three
smaller units.
