Civil structures may be subjected to serious hazards during their lifespans, including natural
hazards (ie, earthquake, hurricanes, and tsunamis) and man-made hazards (ie, fires and …

Structural fire safety is one of the key considerations in the design and maintenance of the
built infrastructure, yet there are serious limitations in the current approaches to structural fire …

The behaviour of structures exposed to fire is a critical aspect of fire safety engineering and
structural design. When a building or any structural element encounters fire, it undergoes a …
