Rapid progress has been made in the development of advanced analytical methods for fire
engineering design in the last few years. As part of this tendency, the fire parts of Eurocodes …

Most of the current understanding of building behaviour in fire is based on the adoption of
the standard and parametric temperature-time fire curves. However, these design fires are …

The fire parts of Eurocode 1 (actions) and 3 (steel structures) allow the use of advanced
analytical and numerical calculation methods for fire engineering design. This paper reports …

This paper describes new software features for the fire design of steel structures. This
analysis is performed according to Eurocode. An example is used to demonstrate the role of …

By using advanced FEA techniques, the predicted temperature in steel elements can be
reduced significantly (see paper by Ulf Wickström). By in addition assuming a performance …

Developments in fire safety engineering now allow a better assessment of fire risk and
consequently better design of steel structures for improved fire resistance. By using …

Performance based method is increasingly used for structural fire safety design of modern
buildings with large enclosure. The design fire scenarios in large enclosure are localized …
