Performance Based Structural Design for Fire Conditions
As jurisdictions throughout the world progress toward performance based building codes, it is important that the proper tools be made available to the engineering profession in order that they may take full advantage of these new codes. There is currently a large body of work written on the subject of performance based or engineered structural fire safety. Unfortunately, most of this information is scattered throughout technical journals from different countries and organizations, and not easily accessible for the practicing engineer without considerable effort. Under the current prescriptive code regime there is generally no requirement to undertake an engineering approach to structural fire safety, since the required fire resistance ratings are prescribed and the fire resistance ratings of materials/assemblies are determined through standard tests. However, these methods have been shown to be both unnecessary and expensive in some cases. A method will be developed that can be used to determine required fire resistance ratings for fire exposed structural steel based on a realistic engineering approach.
