Fire Safety Engineering: Design of Structures
provides the knowledge needed to design a structure which will withstand the
effects of fire.
The book covers everything from design concerns
and philosophies, regulatory control, the behavior characteristics of natural
fires through to the properties of different materials at elevated temperatures.
Focusing on the fire sections of the Structural
Eurocodes, the book provides detailed design advice on each of the main
structural elements such as:
- concrete
- steel
- composite
- steel-concrete
- timber
- masonry
- aluminium
- plastics
- and glass
J. A Purkiss, Consultant, previously
lectured Structural Engineering at Aston University.
His main areas of research were the behaviour of
concrete, concrete composite materials and concrete structures at elevated
temperatures, the experimental determination of the effects of spalling and its
modelling using coupled heat and mass transfer, the determination of the
characteristics of fire damaged concrete structures.
Audience
Structural Engineers, building designers, architects, fire engineers
