Concrete Temperatures During Fire
Elin Jensen and Jacob Van Horn
SFPE’s Engineering Technology Conference
October 19-20, 2009
Motivation
Advance performance-based analysis and design of structures throughout the entire fire.
Mechanistic based analysis and design method established
Advance performance based design for structural fire safety
assess the probability of failure in the event of fire.
quantify (and reduce) variability and arbitrariness in performance for structures designed to the same set of rules.
Key variables
Fire
Material thermal properties
Material physical properties
