This paper presents the author's view on various methods used for the evaluation of the
behaviour of structures submitted to fire, namely experimental testing, tabulated data, simple …

The main objective of a fire-structure analysis is to predict the effects of fires in buildings, eg
the fire resistance and the structure's performance under heating and cooling caused by fire …

Standard fire tests have been developed over a number of years and provide a convenient
method of comparing the performance of systems against specified criteria. They have also …

This review outlines some of the major developments that have occurred in structural fire
engineering design during recent years. The general principles used in fire engineering are …

The devastation caused by fire within buildings can result in loss of life and significant
economic loss due to direct and indirect costs. In terms of structural performance, the …

The field of structural fire engineering research is a typical borderline region, in which
substantial scientific contributions usually presuppose thorough familiarity with many …

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 paper describes the challenges of predicting structural performance in fires, with a view
to the past, the present and the future. Despite the huge advances in computational …

During the last decade, numerical models have been used more and more to analyse the
behaviour of structures under fire action. In view of the limited dimensions of the test …
