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
