This paper critically reviews the understanding of fire hazards in bridges. It starts with
identifying dangerous fire scenarios based on previous accidents. Existing studies on the …

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 presents a numerical study on the fire performance of I-girder composite bridges
with and without bolted web–flange splice connection under tanker fire. The analysis is …

The traditional methods to understand the development of elevated temperature in a
structure, and also the associated structural response, are not representative of realistic fire …

Records of bridge fire incidents illustrate that bridge fires can have catastrophic
consequences. The severity of these fires can be influenced by various factors such as …

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

Performance-based engineering methods have been recently developed for fire hazards
providing enhanced prediction of the structural response and subsequent damage and loss …

Nos anos 2000 tem sido observado um aumento significativo da frequência de incêndios
nas OAE's (Obras de Arte Especiais) não só no Brasil, mas no mundo. O aumento do tráfego …
