where:
f fire temperature at time t, in C;
0 initial fire compartment temperature, in C;
t time, expressed in minutes, measured from the starting of fire.
The ISO-834 standard curve conventionally replicates the actual
fire temperature increase.
For , very important is The concept of fire aggressiveness
(destructive potential) is another tool for evaluating the fire behavior of
buildings or parts of buildings which, correlated with the requirement and
performance criteria that apply to a given situation, can provide a corect
evaluation of the required fire resistance of a building and its parts.
The destructive potential of a fire also relates to the severity of the
fire. The severity of fire can be assessed with: the expected fire
development, the presence of combustible materials, the division of fire
compartments, the presence and abundance of the air intake.

The fire severity depends also on the nature of the combustible: charring
(cellulose based) or non-charring materials (most plastics).
The calculus for cellulose combustible materials proved that the
destructive potential of fire (expressed by the normalized thermal load)
can increase slower (than liniar) with the fire load, can decrease while the
room is ventilated, and, also, if the thermal inertia of the rooms surfaces
is increasing.
