European practice in structural engineering is tending more and more to accept
the benefits to be gained from performance-based approaches, supported by
advanced analytical methods and software tools, to the design of structures for
fire resistance. This conference will focus on the application of advanced
fire-resistant design methods, both manual and computational, for concrete,
steel and timber structures. Particularly relevant themes will be fire
modelling, simulation of the heat transfer between fire and structure, and
modelling of structural behaviour at elevated temperatures using numerical
methods or software implementations of the structural Eurocodes. Case studies
showing successful applications of performance-based structural fire safety
design as well as new research studies on the relationships between experimental
findings, calculation methods and FE simulations are welcome. Acknowledged
experts and specialists in design against fire from all over the World will
participate, thus offering a unique opportunity to share ideas and to acquire
knowledge.
