Fire Design of Steel Framed Buildings

摘要

More is known about structural steelwork in fire than any other construction material. Its performance has been determined through a series of full-scale fire tests, which are unparalleled for other materials. There is certainty in how structural steelwork performs and certainty that finite element models and other tools accurately reflect how it actually behaves in fire. Determining the fire protection requirements for the structural steelwork of a building is a simple and straightforward process, consistent across all types of common buildings.
