Overview of the benefits of structural fire engineering

摘要: The field of structural fire engineering has evolved within the construction industry, driven largely by acceptance performance-based or goal-based design. This evolution brought two disciplines very close together - that and engineering. paper presents an overview systems are frequently adopted in tall building design; typical beams columns, concrete filled steel tube columns long span with web openings. It is shown these members require a analysis relation to their temperature failure modes determine adequate thermal protection for given resistance period. When this accounted for, more explicit understanding behaviour structure significant cost savings can be achieved. demonstrates importance assessments context engineers than capable assessing capacity event using published methodologies. Rather assumed performance, approach result safe quantified design fire.
