Structural Design for Fire Safety

Abstract

Fire safety in buildings - overview: fire safety objectives process of fire development conceptual framework for fire safety fire resistance controlling fire spread building construction for fire safety. Fire and heat - overview: fuels combustion fire initiation burning objects t-squared fires pre-flashover design fires heat transfer. Room fires - overview: pre-flashover fires flashover post-flashover fires design fires other factors. Fire severity - overview: fire severity and fire resistance fire severity standard fire equivalent fire severity. Fire resistance - overview: fire resistance assessing fire resistance fire-resistance tests approved fire-resistance ratings fire resistance by calculation fire resistance of assemblies. Design of structures exposed to fire - overview: structural design at normal temperatures structural design in fire conditions material properties in fire design of individual members exposed to fire design of structural assemblies exposed to fire. Steel structures: overview: behaviour of steel structures in fire fire-resistance ratings steel temperatures protection systems mechanical properties of steel at elevated temperature design of steel members exposed to fire design of steel buildings exposed to fire. Concrete structures - overview: behaviour of concrete structures in fire fire-resistance ratings concrete and reinforcing temperatures mechanical properties of concrete at elevated temperatures design of concrete members exposed to fire composite steel-concrete construction exposed to fire. Timber structures - overview: description of timber construction fire-resistance ratings wood temperatures mechanical properties of wood design concepts for heavy timber exposed to fire design of heavy timber members exposed to fire behaviour of timber connections in fire.
