Preface

Fire represents one of the most serious situations that can occur throughout the life cycle and therefore providing members with appropriate fire protection measures is an important safety requirement in building design. The basis for this requirement may be that it is the last line of defense for the integrity of the building when other fire prevention measures have failed.

The histological method for examining fire brigade members is a document-based method. This method is very effective and does not create an elaborate burn pattern. Therefore, in the last two decades, significant research activities have been carried out aimed at improving the dynamic behavior of fire structures and developing effective methods for assessing fire resistance. This work has been useful in Western Europe, where many research papers (Ph.D.) are available. D. and scientific articles.

The European committee led the application of some findings from the research into guidelines for the application of fire engineering principles in building design. First principles of international practice include the ECCS “European Convention on Structural Steel” (ECCS 1983) recommendations for steel and, for practical purposes, the CEB/FIP “Comité Euro-International Edu béton / Fédération” recommendations. International de la Prefontaine” (CEB 1991). Eurocode fire components were first introduced in Luxembourg in 1990. In subsequent years these Eurocode documents have been extensively updated with new or updated provisions based on the latest research published worldwide.

Along similar lines, many countries have taken steps in recent years to fully rationalize the way fires are lit. An example of this is a new introduction to fire design methods recently published in the American Steel Construction Institute Reference Manual. Additionally, many countries around the world are reviewing their fire safety regulations. A performance-based approach to fire safety is often simpler, cheaper and more reasonable. But effective fire safety management requires modern methods, accounting methods, reference books and trained personnel.

 The Eurocode documents or recently updated codes and standards in other tests are not yet useful books, reference documents or guidance documents. Although these guides provide information on how to make fire safety designs, there are no detailed descriptions or explanations of different specifications or calculation methods. Additionally, fire safety design cannot be taught as part of a regular engineering course and therefore many engineers, architects and regulators may not have the necessary background knowledge to easily understand the concepts involved, interpret them or know the limitations of applying these concepts. different regulations. In other words, it is not easy to follow existing codes and standards in most practical situations unless one has a certain level of expertise in fire safety engineering. The limited number of books written in the store fire department further compounds this problem.

This book aims to fill the existing gap in the field of fire safety by providing the information necessary to design a steel fire safety system. It works with various calculation methods for the fire design and analysis of structural steel, assemblies and systems. The aim is to provide engineers with a conventional framework from which to evaluate the fire resistance of steel at all levels. Since the main purpose of this guide is to help simplify the fire design of steel structures, the guide is primarily based on the provisions of Eurocode 3 as well as fire-related provisions and other laws in the United States.

In this book, information on the design of steel-framed fireplaces is systematically presented in seven chapters. Each chapter begins with the introduction of different concepts to follow, followed by a detailed explanation of the concepts. Calculation methods for the proposed codes (for Europe, North America or other continents) are discussed in detail. Examples of calculating the flexibility of the structural elements shown are given.

For complete questions on how to do analysis.

Part 1 of the book is devoted to providing basic information on the rules and principles and principles of fire design. This chapter discusses the fire safety philosophy explained in writing and based on fire safety research studies.

Part 2 deals with mechanical design and loading. The use of loads that should be taken into account in the fire design of buildings according to European and North American codes and standards is discussed.

Chapter 3 discusses the details of establishing fire conditions for various problems. Both Eurocode and North American temperature-time relationships are discussed. The methods in this section allow the installer to set a time temperature or variable temperature below a certain temperature.

 Chapter 4 covers the steps involved in determining the thermal history of steel structures based on the temperature of the fire. Another method of is to perform temperature analysis using a simple calculation method.

Chapter 5 presents the steps involved in creating the structural model of the fire model. Possibility of analysis at different levels: member level, structural level and global level. Detailed information is provided about simple calculation methods for performing dynamic analyzes at the member level.

 Chapter 6 is devoted to fire resistance issues related to structural design. Steps in making bolted or welded connections fire resistant using simple and detailed methods are discussed.

Chapter 7 deals with thermal and mechanical analysis using advanced computational methods. Methods involved in structural analysis under fire or global structural analysis are discussed. The research shows a detailed analysis of the fire resistance of various structures. Chapter 8 provides four graphic examples of how complex structures can be designed using the concept of complexity.
