McAllister T. et al. Measurement of Temperature, Displacement, and Strain in Structural Components Subject to Fire Effects: Concepts and Candidate

National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2012. — 83 p.Temperature, displacement, and strain measurements of structural components and systems are needed to fully understand the performance of structural systems in fire and to validate analytical models of structural response to fire effects. Present-day tools, such as the prescriptive ASTM E119 standard, provide comparative fire ratings between assemblies, but no useful measured data about structural performance. Measurements of structural performance in fire conditions are needed to validate analytical tools and to develop performance-based design methodologies.Measurement Methods in Structural-Fire Test Laboratories.
