Advanced Structural Fire Engineering

3 credits · Graduate

This course focuses on the design and analysis of structures subjected to fire. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the fundamentals of fire behaviour, fire load, active- and passive-fire safety measures, material properties at elevated temperatures, and design methods and code guidelines for fire resistant structural design. Special emphasis is placed on computational and analytical tools for performance- based design. Risk and reliability assessment frameworks are also introduced. Preclusion(s): CIVE 439-3, ENGR 439-3
