Fire Resilience in Steel-Concrete Structures Part II: Advanced Solutions
Author: Roman Titov
Steel-concrete composite floors are integral to modern buildings, but their resilience under fire conditions demands deeper understanding and innovative approaches. This course examines groundbreaking full-scale experimental evaluations, exploring the influence of slab reinforcement and other critical factors on fire-induced performance. Participants will gain insights into structural behavior, failure mechanisms, and advanced strategies for designing safer and more cost-effective buildings. Part two of a two part course which can be taken independently.
