Structural Fire Engineering: From Principles to Eurocode Design

Fire is an ancient danger, but due to novel methods of calculation, structural fire design is rapidly evolving. In structural fire design, designers must take into account physical phenomena at high temperatures. That is, they must understand the principles behind the fire safety methods that are in sue. The scope of design procedures given in the Eurocodes, and the effects of design procedures on the huge variety of materials and structures in use, therefore poses a challenge. Structural Fire Engineering: From Principles to Eurocode Design is a comprehensive handbook to fire safety in structural design. Designers, civil engineers, and structural engineers will find a go-to reference for the principles of structural fire safety that underlie the Eurocodes. This book covers the diverse types of structure and materials currently in use, including concrete, steel, masonry, composite steel and concrete, timber, and aluminium and its alloys. The book offers practicing designers and engineers a comprehensive, landmark guide to fire safety in the design of structures, relating physical principles to Eurocode design. Supports structural fire designers by describing the physical behaviour of various materials and structures at high temperaturesPresents the physical principles behind Eurocode structural fire engineering in relation to various materialsDescribes the behaviours and principles at work for a wide variety of materials at high temperaturesExplains the principles and methods of fire safety designGives solutions to problems in fire safety for the design of structures INDICE: 1.
