Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures
Autor John A. Purkiss, Long-Yuan Lien Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2017
It includes extensive data on materials’ behaviour and modeling -- concrete, steel, composite steel-concrete, timber, masonry, and aluminium. While weighted to the fire sections of the Eurocodes, this book also includes historical data to allow older structures to be assessed. It extensively covers fire damage investigation, and includes as far back as possible, the background to code methods to enable the engineer to better understand why certain procedures are adopted.
What’s new in the Third Edition?
An overview in the first chapter explains the types of design decisions required for optimum fire performance of a structure, and demonstrates the effect of temperature rise on structural performance of structural elements. It extends the sections on less common engineering materials. The section on computer modelling now includes material on coupled heat and mass transfer, enabling a better understanding of the phenomenon of spalling in concrete. It includes a series of worked examples, and provides an extensive reference section.
Readers require a working knowledge of structural mechanics and methods of structural design at ambient conditions, and are helped by some understanding of thermodynamics of heat transfer. This book serves as a resource for engineers working in the field of fire safety, consultants who regularly carry out full fire safety design for structure, and researchers seeking background information.
Dr John Purkiss is a chartered civil and structural engineer/consultant and former lecturer in structural engineering at Aston University, UK.
Dr Long-Yuan Li is Professor of Structural Engineering at Plymouth University, UK, and a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers.

Descriere
This third edition covers design concerns and philosophies, touches on regulatory control, the behavior of natural fires through to the properties of various engineering materials at elevated temperatures. Focusing on the fire sections of the Eurocodes, the book provides detailed design advice, together with the background for the main structural materials such as concrete, steel, composite steel-concrete, timber, masonry and aluminium. This third edition has significant updates of materials properties, calculations, and less 'standard' materials such as concrete filled tubes, masonry, plastics and glass.
