Methods ofcalculating fire severity and achieving fire resistance aredescribed, including fire performance of the main structuralmaterials including structural steel, reinforced concrete andtimber construction. Particularly valuable elements of the book areits design sections (incorporating international methods), wherethe earlier material is synthesised and recommendations are madefor rational design of building structures exposed to fires.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Structural Design for Fire Safety provides expert guidance on:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ?

Furthermore, it successfully bridges theinformation gap between fire safety engineers, structural engineersand building inspectors, and will be of significant interest toarchitects, code officials, building designers and firefighters.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Notation\u003cbr\u003e
