Summary
Guidance on modelling running pool fires on offshore steel decks draws on experiments showing buckling and weld failure. It examines bunding with foam and deluge, and recommends accounting for thermal distortion, lateral fire movement, leakage through decks and wind effects when reviewing fire scenarios and offshore safety cases.
