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. This requirement may stem from the fact that it serves as the final safeguard for the building’s integrity after other fire prevention measures have failed.
The histological method for examining fire brigade members is document-based. 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 spearheaded the implementation of research findings 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). In 1990, Luxembourg introduced the first Eurocode fire components. These Eurocode documents have undergone extensive updates in subsequent years, incorporating new or updated provisions based on the latest worldwide research.
In a similar vein, numerous nations have recently implemented measures to comprehensively rationalize the process of starting fires. 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, regular engineering courses do not teach fire safety design, leaving many engineers, architects, and regulators without the necessary background knowledge to grasp the concepts, interpret them, or understand the limitations of their application. different regulations. In other words, adhering to existing codes and standards in most practical situations requires a certain level of expertise in fire safety engineering. The store fire department’s limited book collection further exacerbates this issue.
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.
This book systematically presents information on steel-framed fireplace designs in seven chapters. Each chapter commences with the introduction of various concepts, which are then followed by a detailed explanation of these concepts. We discuss in detail the calculation methods for the proposed codes (for Europe, North America, or other continents). We provide examples of how to calculate the flexibility of the displayed structural elements.
For comprehensive inquiries regarding the process of analysis,
The book dedicates Part 1 to providing basic information on the rules 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. In accordance with European and North American codes and standards, we discuss the use of loads in building fire designs.
Chapter 3 delves into the specifics of establishing fire conditions for a range of problems. We discuss both Eurocode and North American temperature-time relationships. The methods discussed in this section enable the installer to set a time or variable temperature below a specific temperature threshold.
Chapter 4 covers the steps involved in determining the thermal history of steel structures based on the temperature of the fire. Another method is to perform temperature analysis using a simple calculation method.
The steps involved in creating the structural model of the fire model are presented in Chapter 5. There is the option to conduct analysis at three different levels: the member level, the structural level, and the global level. We provide detailed information about simple calculation methods for performing dynamic analyses at the member level.
Fire resistance issues related to structural design are the focus of Chapter 6. We discuss simple and detailed methods to make bolted or welded connections fire resistant.
Chapter 7 deals with thermal and mechanical analysis using advanced computational methods. We discuss methods involved in structural analysis under fire or global structural analysis. The research provides a detailed analysis of the fire resistance of various structures.
Chapter 8 presents four graphic examples that illustrate the design of complex structures using the concept of complexity.
