Best Practice Guidelines for Structural Fire Resistance Design of Concrete and Steel Buildings
| Earn 6.0 PDHs | Pre-registration is required |
Over the past four years, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), working through the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and in collaboration with industry experts, has prepared a comprehensive document providing guidelines on designing structural fire resistance.
The Guidelines contain the current “best practices” for fire-resistant design of concrete and steel structures including a review of existing U.S. and international guidelines and design standards, which use approaches that range from simple prescriptive methods to sophisticated software programs with advanced methods of analysis under a wide range of realistic fire conditions.
Consistent with the document, this seminar will provide general guidance on the approaches to, and practical aspects of, implementing a fire-resistant design approach for concrete and steel buildings. The guidance includes key concepts and examples for identifying performance objectives, conducting risk analyses, selecting design fire scenarios and fire exposure curves, and implementing heat transfer and structural response analyses for the structural fire-resistant design of concrete and steel structures.
