A novel methodology for generalising CFD-based approaches for thermal analysis of
protected steelwork in fire has been developed, known as GeniSTELA. This is a quasi-3D …

In order to overcome the limitations of existing methodologies for thermal analysis of
protected structural members in fire, a novel CFD-based methodology has been developed …

The ability to predict the temperatures in protected steel structures is of vital importance for
the progress of fire safety engineering. Existing methods are limited in several respects …

A novel CFD-based methodology for generalised thermal analysis of protected steel
structures in fire has been developed, in order to overcome some of the limitations of …

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 …

The move from using the standard fire test for structural fire design towards more rational
design methods has led to an increased requirement for numerical modelling of structures in …

A hierarchy of coupling strategies for integrating advanced three-dimensional modelling
methodologies for prediction of the thermo-mechanical response of structures in fire has …

The last two decades have seen new insights, data and analytical methods to establish the
behaviour of structures in fire. These methods have slowly migrated into practice and now …

The term “thermal properties” is usually used to specify material properties that control the
transport of heat through a material. Commonly it comprises thermal conductivity (k or λ) …

Current fire design codes for determining the temperature within the structural elements that
form part of a complete building are based on isolated member tests subjected to the …
