Performance-based structural fire design of steel frames can eliminate fire protection on up to half of a building’s floor beams, according to a two-year study of PBSFD. Still, structural engineers ...

Structural fire engineering and safety represent a critical interdisciplinary field focused on ensuring that buildings and infrastructure maintain their integrity and functionality during fire ...

The International Code Council has approved—as expected—the updated structural building-design standard, written by the American Society of Civil Engineers Structural Engineering Institute, for ...

The research team, led by Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering assistant professor, Negar Elhami-Khorasani and assistant professor Thomas Gernay from Johns Hopkins University ...

NFPA 1700, Guide for Structural Fire Fighting, is the first NFPA document connecting fire dynamics research to response strategy, tactics, and best practices for firefighters controlling fires within ...

Structural steel can lose significant load-bearing strength under high heat, making properly specified passive fire protection essential. Fire ratings must be supported by standards-based testing that ...

In a landmark step towards strengthening national safety standards and advancing engineering research, the University of Sri ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Most people view tunnels as a matter of convenience, a way to get from Point A to Point B with minimum complications — depending on weather and traffic patterns, of course. Negar ...
