Abstract

A performance based analysis was the key to solve a serious compromise for an historic building caused by the strict requirements of the fire regulations. The cast iron structure behaviour was analised in detail considering the effect of a fire suppression system as an alternative to passive protection that may have caused the beautiful structure to disappear under it.
