Advances in fire engineering design of steel structures

By: Language: English Series: Structures and Buildings ; 159(sb1) February 2006, 21-35(15)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: Examines the various design methods available for ensuring adequate fire safety in steel-framed buildings, which range from covering all exposed steel areas with fire protection to a performance-based approach where likely fire severity, heat transfer and structural responses are considered. Summarises the advantages and disadvantages of each design method to allow the optimum solution for individual projects to be determined.
