This book, Advanced Analysis and Design for Fire Safety of Steel Structures systematically presents the latest findings on behaviouof steel structural ponents in a fire, such as the catenaryactio of restrained steel beams, the design methods for restrainedsteel colum, and the membrane actio of concrete floor slabs withsteel decks. Using a systematic description of structural firesafety engineering principles, the autho illustrate the importantdifference between behaviou of an isolated structural element andthe restrained ponent in a plete structure under fireconditio.'Steel structure fire resistant advanced analysis anddesign (English veion)(fine)' will be an essential resource forstructural enginee who wish to improve their undetanding of steelbuildings exposed to fires. It is also an ideal textbook forintroductory coues in fire safety for master's degree programs instructural engineering, and is excellent reading material forfinal-year undergraduate students in civil engineering and firesafety engineering. Furthermore, it successfully bridges theinformation gap between fire safety enginee, structural enginee andbuilding ipecto, and will be of significant interest to architects,code officials, building designe and fire fighte.
