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

" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

Steel-concrete composite beams are widely used in the construction of tall building with
steel floors. In these floors, the bearing capacity of beams in which the performance of …

Significant work has been done on the enhancement of load-bearing capacity of reinforced
concrete slabs through tensile membrane action (TMA) under fire conditions, since its first …

This paper provides a" state-of-the-art" review of research into the effects of high
temperature on concrete and concrete structures, extending to a range of forms of …

The behavior of shear connectors plays a significant role in maintaining the required
strength of a composite beam in normal and hazardous conditions. Various types of shear …

Fire resistance is one of the most enduring ideas in fire safety design. This paper charts the
emergence of fire resistance, and its rise to ubiquity–with a focus on British codes and …

In any subject area related to the provision of safety, failure is typically the most effective
mechanism for evoking rapid reform and an introspective assessment of the accepted …

Abstract The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center's Performance
Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework is well documented. The framework is a …

The traditional design fires commonly considered in structural fire engineering, like the
standard fire and Eurocode parametric fires, were developed several decades ago based on …
