With improved understanding of the behaviour of materials and increasing sophistication in the mathemetical modelling of the fire process, new insight has been gained into several problems of the performance of structures in fire. The belief that fire can attack a building element on one side only, and that fire temperature is the manifest reference information in performance evaluations are discussed here.Des renseignements tir\ue9s d'essais ou d'\ue9tudes par ordinateur ex\ue9cut\ue9s selon la philosophie conventionnelle de protection contre les incendies sont inad\ue9quates pour juger le comportement d'\ue9l\ue9ments du b\ue2timent dans les vrais feux. Dans un compartiment isol\ue9 les feux ne durent ordinairement pas plus de 30 minutes....
