For ASTM E 119 exposure, Tf at any time, t, is given by the following expression
Tf = C1 LOG (0.133 t + 1) + Ta (Refecrece: SFPE Handbook 3rd Edition, p. 4-223)
Where Tf = fire exposure temperature (°F)
C2 = constant = 620
t = time step (sec)
Ta = ambient air temperature (°F)
DTs1 = F/V 1/rscs (hc (C1 LOG (0.133 t1 + 1) +Ta) - Ts0) + s e ((C1 LOG (0.133 t
Where t1 = Dt/2
Ts0 = initial steel temperature (°F)
DTs2 = F/V 1/rscs (hc (C1 LOG (0.133 t2 + 1) +Ta) - Ts) + s e ((C1 LOG (0.133 t
Where t2 = t1 + Dt/2
Ts = Ts0 + DTs from previous row

The Failure Temperature for Steel Beams is Assumed at 1000 °F (538 °C)
NOTE
1500
The above calculations are based on principles developed in the Structural Design for Fire Safety by
Buchanan, 2001.
Calculations
1000 are based on certain assumptions and have inherent limitations. The results
of such calculations may or may not have reasonable predictive capabilities for a given
situation, and should only be interpreted by an informed user.
Although
500 each calculation in the spreadsheet has been verified with the results of hand calculation,
there is no absolute guarantee of the accuracy of these calculations.
