Statistical analysis of cyclic performance of fire resistant door set in shopping Centre in Malaysia

Fire and smoke are major risks to life and property in buildings. As such, fire and smoke have to be controlled and prevented with whatever means and methods that is available in order to keep it out of its destructive and lethal propensity. The concept of keeping the occupants of buildings safe in...
