A discussion presented at the session on gravity loads and temperature effects of the ASCE-IABSE Conference on Tall Buildings, outlines a program of survey of fire and live loads which the National Bureau of Standards is beginning under the auspices of the Building Research Advisory Board and the sponsorship of the Public Building Service of the General Services Administration. Its objectives are to improve the technical bases for criteria for fire ratings of buildings and for floor loadings used in building design. The surveying will employ stochastic models for representation of loadings developed at NBS. It will provide a data base for immediate improvements in building standards for fire resistance and design live loads.
