of the fire. Even if spalling of parts of the concrete structure occurs due to the effects
of the fire, the structural stability is not endangered.
The topic of jet fuel fires and their consequences were examined in detail after
September 11, 2001. Details cannot be reproduced here. To the knowledge of the
author, however, the statement can be made that the physical structures of a convoy
system are sufficiently robust and that appropriate measures have been taken for
secondary effects such as smoke, etc.
