This paper describes a full scale fire test performed recently on a composite floor for analysing the possibility of tensile membrane action to develop when the unprotected steel beams in the central part of the floor are made of cellular beams.The natural fire was created by a wood crib fire load of 700 MJ/m² and the 9 x 15 m floor survived the fire that peaked at 1000°C and lasted for 90 minutes.

In July 1985, the Training Development Department of British Gas completed a thorough one‐year evaluation of computer‐based training (CBT) and found considerable long‐term benefits which overcame many of the problems of traditional training. One of the main advantages was flexibility. Distance learning allows people to work at their own pace, without the stress of a traditional classroom environment. Line managers find it easier and more acceptable to slot training into the work schedule, rather than having to release people to go to a training unit.
