Description
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 behaviour 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,
and 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.
