Abstract The Performance-Based Design approach provides a goal-oriented process to
support safe, innovative, and resilient structural fire designs. However, adoption of this …

Many studies of the thermal and structural behaviour for large compartments in fire carried
out over the past two decades show that fires in such compartments have a great deal of non …

Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of
complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures …

This book provides an introduction to the theory and design of composite structures of steel
and concrete. Material applicable to both buildings and bridges is included, with more …

This paper presents the results of the detailed assessment of a method that can be used to
predict the intumescent coating behaviour and thermal conductivity under different …

Adoption of performance-based approaches in structural fire engineering is now largely
recognized as having the potential to deliver benefits in terms of safety, resilience …

The temperature dependent material properties of structural steel are important for fire
resistant (FR) design and fire simulation of steel structures. In this study, the material tests …

Corrosion of carbon steel reinforcing bar can lead to deterioration of concrete structures,
especially in regions where road salt is heavily used or in areas close to sea water. Although …

This paper addresses an issue rarely contemplated in the management of historical
buildings, fire safety. There is an implication that “compliant” means “safe” and that the goals …
