Summary

Fire poses a significant hazard to both building and bridge structures throughout their service life, making the preservation of structural integrity during and after fire incidents a critical safety imperative. Consequently, traditional prescriptive methods for structural fire safety are increasingly being replaced by advanced, performance-based engineered approaches. As a highly dynamic research area, structural fire engineering has been significantly transformed by recent technological innovations.


This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in the fire performance and post-fire evaluation of structures. We welcome contributions encompassing experimental studies, numerical modelling, novel design approaches, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
· High-temperature properties of construction materials (e.g., steel, concrete, timber, and FRP)
· Fire performance of building structures (e.g., steel, concrete, timber, and steel-concrete composite structures)
· Fire performance of bridge structures
· Post-fire evaluation and assessment of buildings and bridges
· Multi-hazard coupling of fire and other hazards


Keywords

fire performance, fire resistance, high temperature, post-fire, multi-hazard

    Abstract Frame structures with steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns and reinforced concrete (RC) beams are widely used in high-rise buildings, which are susceptible to significant fire hazards. Therefore, analyzing and designing the fire resistance of such SRC-RC frame structures (hereinafter referred to as SRC frame structures) is critical. Developing an effective calculation model for fire resistance is essential, as it provides a robust tool for assessing fire response and facilitating fire-resistant design. In this study, a fire resistance calculation model for SRC frame structures was developed using sequential thermal-mechanical coupling, with carefully selected thermal parameters and material… More >
