Titolo: Proceedings of the Workshop Fire Design of Concrete Structures: What now? What next? Collana: Tesi e Ricerca Genere: Ingegneria strutturale The often devastating effects that fires have on entire structures or single structural members has been brought back to the scene by a number of recent fires in tunnels, tall buildings, entertainment halls, bridges and off-shore platforms. What matters is not only the structural fire resistance, but also the safety and serviceability level after a fire. The increasing implications of fire-related effects in structural design have been lately dealt with in a few international projects, which are favoring the collection of new test data, the development of innovative theoretical models and computational tools, and the refinement and/or extension of the design codes. This volume collects more than 30 papers presented at the workshop “Fire Design of Concrete Structures: What now? What next?” organized by Task Group 4.3 “Fire Design of Concrete Structures” of fib (International Federation for Structural Con-crete) and held at Milan University of Technology on December 2-3, 2004. The workshop was focused on the engineering aspects of structural fire design, starting from the application of the latest technical-scientific results in the domain of structural concrete. Specific attention was devoted to the implications that fire has on conceptual-design, in order to achieve a satisfactory balance between concrete and steel thermo-mechanical sensitivity, and structural response. The contributions by different “actors” – acade-micians, researchers, designers, owners, consul-tants, contractors, MS and PhD Students – allows this volume to cover a variety of topics, to the advantage of both experts and laymen in the domain of fire design.
