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 GeniSTELA code has been developed as a generalised CFD-based approach for
thermal analysis of protected steelwork in fire. This is a quasi-3D approach with computation …

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 …

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 …

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 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 present paper gives an overview of the actual tools available for the estimation of the
fire development and of the resulting thermal actions on structural members. A case study is …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a simplified representation of the fire load
in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to represent the effect of large-scale travelling fire …

The ability to predict the thermal and structural performances of steel fire doors subjected to
fire tests described in safety standards via the finite element method is investigated. These …
