Description

Tested techniques for designing fire-resistant structures Structural Fire Loads bridges the gap between prescriptive and performance-based methods for the design of fire-resistant buildings. The book streamlines complex computer analyses so that an approximate analytical expression can be easily used in structural fire load analysis and design. Simplified versions of energy; mass; and momentum equations are provided in dimensionless form with their solutions in tabular form. Step-by-step examples using standard structural systems; such as beams; trusses; frames; and arches; are also presented in this practical guide. Using the proven methods in this book; all types of fires can be addressed in the design process. Coverage includes: Overview of current practice Structural fire load and computer models Differential equations and assumptions Simplifications of differential equations Fire load and severity of fires Structural analysis and design
