Syllabus of lectures:

Introduction to fire safety

Load at fire

Thermal analysis, temperature of steel elements exposed to fire

Protected and unprotected elements, fire protection

Structural analysis, video about large scale fire test in Cardington

Design of steel structures, elements loaded in tension, compression, bending, combination of axial load and bending, design of connections

Design of composite structures, composite slab, composite beam

Design of timber structures

Examples of structural fire design

Syllabus of tutorials:

Fire load, parametric temperature curve
