Basics of Fire Design of Timber and Steel Structures (2cr)

Objective

Knowledge of the construction process: the student knows the basics of fire design of timber and steel structures.

Knowledge of structural design: The student will be able to design conventional non-protected and protected timber structures according to the Eurocodes. The student will be able to determine the temperature of a steel structure in both non-fireproof and fireproof condition. The student will be able to carry out the fire design of conventional steel structures according to the Eurocodes.

Content
