For preservation and adaptation of heritage or historic buildings,
an understanding of their constructional material properties at
elevated temperatures and structural elements fire behavior is
required so that they can be demonstrated to possess sufficient
fire resistance in their new and current uses. Fire Resistance of
Heritage Structures presents systematic information regarding the
main materials used in heritage structures (masonry, metals, and
timber). Material properties at elevated temperatures, response of
structural elements and systems in fire and protection guidelines
are presented, including information from historical fire tests.
The book provides, in a systematic way, useful information and
methodologies required to assess the fire resistance of historical
structures. It covers a wide range of historical materials,
including cast iron, wrought iron, old steel, masonry (clay masonry
units, mortars and types of construction stone) and old timber.
Information regarding the post-fire assessment is also provided.
This Brief is perfect for practicing fire and structural engineers
dealing with conservation projects, as well as students and
researchers studying historical structures and their conservation.
