E – 3007 Fire Resilience in Steel-Concrete Structures Part II: Advanced Solutions

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.

Fire resilience is critical in modern construction, particularly for steel-concrete composite systems. This course begins with the fundamentals of fire resistance, incorporating lessons learned from full-scale experimental evaluations. Participants will explore innovative strategies for addressing fire-induced failure mechanisms, ensuring robust and compliant designs for a safer built environment.
