Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition Andrew H. Buchanan,
University of Canterbury, New Zealand Anthony K. Abu, University of
Canterbury, New Zealand A practical and informative guide to
structural fire engineering This book presents a comprehensive
overview of structural fire engineering. An update on the first
edition, the book describes new developments in the past ten years,
including advanced calculation methods and computer programs.
Further additions include: calculation methods for membrane action
in floor slabs exposed to fires; a chapter on composite
steel-concrete construction; and case studies of structural
collapses. The book begins with an introduction to fire safety in
buildings, from fire growth and development to the devastating
effects of severe fires on large building structures. Methods of
calculating fire severity and fire resistance are then described in
detail, together with both simple and advanced methods for
assessing and designing for structural fire safety in buildings
constructed from structural steel, reinforced concrete, or
structural timber. Structural Design for Fire Safety, 2nd edition
bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers,
structural engineers and building officials, and it will be useful
for many others including architects, code writers, building
designers, and firefighters. Key features: Updated references to
current research, as well as new end-of-chapter questions and
worked examples. Authors experienced in teaching, researching, and
applying structural fire engineering in real buildings. A focus on
basic principles rather than specific building code requirements,
for an international audience. An essential guide for structural
engineers who wish to improve their understanding of buildings
exposed to severe fires and an ideal textbook for introductory or
advanced courses in structural fire engineering.
