This paper presents the results of incident heat flux experiments in standard (full‐scale) and non‐standard (intermediate‐scale) wall and floor fire resistance furnaces. These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of full‐scale furnace depth (wall and floor furnaces), furnace size (full‐ and intermediate‐scale furnaces) and intermediate‐scale furnace orientation (vertical and horizontal positions) on the incident heat flux in fire resistance test furnaces.
