Modelo experimental para la obtención de los campos de temperatura en aceros estructurales bajo la acción del fuego

The main experimental work is the design, construction, adjustment and starting a pilot furnace, which allows the experimental temperature profiles of the samples structural carbon steels. The furnace operates under unsteady state of heat flow, following the evolution of the temperature profile given by the ISO 834 norm. The fire temperatures into de furnace can being reached to 1200 °C, for intervals of time that they do not overcome three hours.
