While occupants are evacuating from the fire scene, firefighters are entering life-threatening
environments, exposed to hot and toxic fire smoke and risks of structural failures or …

This paper critically reviews the understanding of fire hazards in bridges. It starts with
identifying dangerous fire scenarios based on previous accidents. Existing studies on the …

Finite Element (FE) methods have been widely adopted in structural design to analyze the
mechanical performance quantitatively, while most comprehensive FE models are …

Abstract The Performance-Based Design approach provides a goal-oriented process to
support safe, innovative, and resilient structural fire designs. However, adoption of this …

Fire can damage structures severely and even cause the building collapse. Structural and
fire engineers must carry out a comprehensive forensic investigation of major structural …

This paper investigates different numerical modeling strategies for evaluating temperatures
in structures subjected to localized fires. Three simple fire models and two methods to …

Fire safety of modern buildings is crucial and the fire safety design of these buildings has
been a challenging task. Large open-plan compartments are commonly designed in modern …

The 'travelling fire'models have been used to describe the localised and travelling burning of
uniform fuel bed in large open-plan building space. However, fuel is typically distributed non …

Large open-plan compartment fires in modern buildings may exhibit a local burning region
travelling across the floor plan as a 'travelling fire'. This phenomenon has been found in the …

More than 1300 new buildings over 200 m tall have been built since the year 2000,
representing 80% of the total number of supertall buildings globally. The proliferation of such …
