A localized fire is a fire in a compartment which is unlikely to reach flash-over or a uniform temperature distribution. Designing for localized fires are generally more difficult than for a typical room fire both because of the complexity of the problem as well as the lack of experimental data. We reports on a full scale test on a steel column exposed to a localized fire. The setup is a 6 meters hollow circular column, Ø=200 mm with a steel thickness of 10 mm. The unloaded column was hanging centrally above different pool fires. We report temperatures of gas and steel as well as those measured by plate thermometer of the somewhat asymmetric fires. The results are compared with estimates based on Eurocode 1991-1-2 which in all cases studied overestimates the thermal impact for this setup.
