Beschreibung:
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.
