The corresponding real fire load was taken from a related to the LPG buses used fire expert opinions.

The steel frame of 80 x 40 m large workshop hall needed only two internal supports to span the workspace using spatial main and flat side trusses. Here too the structure R30 archives by real fire-hot design.
