N2 - Current regulations are highly unfavorable in Germany for the design of hollow spaces, especially load-bearing structures within integrated steel construction, suspended ceilings as well as raised and hollow floors in fire situation, once installations for building services are considered as the main fire loads. Recognizing electric cables as the primary fire loads, this paper deals with major electric failures of short circuit and overloading as the ignition source. Numerous small fire tests are conducted to test its suitability and the repeatability for larger fire tests. In the last part of the paper, the relationship between ventilation and fire loads for hollow spaces are further tested using Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD).
