Bridge failures due to fires are more common than failures due to extreme weather or
earthquakes. Yet, unlike wind and earthquake loading, fire does not receive the same level …

The frequent occurrences of bridge fires and the substantial disruptions and direct/indirect
economic losses resulting from these events highlight the immediate need for effective fire …

This paper introduces a structural design optimisation methodology aimed at minimising the
consequences of a fire. The methodology considers the trade-off between implementing …

The first step in current methodologies for the (probabilistic) performance-based fire safety
design and assessment of structures is characterizing fire hazard scenario (s). Next …

Bridge fires are becoming an increasing concern, and for steel plate girder bridges in
particular, web shear buckling is one of the failure mechanisms that can make it necessary …

Risk-based design and assessment methods are gaining popularity in performance-based
structural fire engineering. These methods usually start by defining a set of hazard scenarios …

This paper proposes a methodological evolution in the field of performance-based approach
for the assessment of infrastructure fire vulnerability such as bridges. Criteria for assessing …

Current methodologies for the performance-based fire safety design of structures adhere to
typical engineering workflows, which commence by defining hazard scenarios and resulting …

Structural damage and collapse of bridges due to fire have increased in recent years,
emphasising the need for appropriate fire-safety-oriented design approaches. Current …

Resilient design requires information about a structure's response to a variety of exposures
such that systems can be implemented to prevent unacceptable losses. For the case of …
