Objective
The overall objective of the proposed project is to develop an integrated engineering methodology for determining the structural performance of steel/composite-framed buildings in natural fires.
The methodology will be both fundamental and comprehensive, exploiting the advanced capabilities of both computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for predicting the thermal behaviour and finite-element (FE) models for determining the mechanical response of the structure.
Systematic validation of the methodology will be carried out considering test data from full-scale fire tests. The methodology will be applied to test cases and impact assessment undertaken. Design guidance will be developed as appropriate.
