Presenting a comprehensive overview of the fire resistance ofbuilding structures, this key text brings together a large volumeof material from many sources on this increasingly important topic.Starting with the fundamentals of fires and fire safety, the bookgives an introduction to real fire exposure and the response ofstructures to such fires, outlining the important contribution ofstructural fire resistance to overall fire safety. Methods ofcalculating fire severity and achieving fire resistance aredescribed, including fire performance of the main structuralmaterials including structural steel, reinforced concrete andtimber construction. Particularly valuable elements of the book areits design sections (incorporating international methods), wherethe earlier material is ... Read more
