Designing Steel Structures for Fire Safety

by Jean Marc Franssen (Editor), Venkatesh Kodur (Editor), Raul Zaharia (Editor)

Overview

Structural design in fire conditions is conceptually similar to structural design in normal temperature conditions, but often more difficult because of internal forces induced by thermal expansion, strength reduction due to elevated temperatures, much larger deflections, and numerous other factors. Before making any design decisions it is esse
