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

Objective

Competence in the construction process
Students know the basics of fire design of timber and steel structures.

Competence in structural engineering
Students know the basics of fire resistance design for timber structures. Students can design standard unprotected and fire-protected timber structures according to Eurocodes. They can determine the temperature of steel structures, both fire-protected and unprotected. They can perform fire design for conventional steel structures according to Eurocodes.

Content

Timber structures (1 op):
- basics of fire design of timber structures
- fire design of timber beams and columns in non-fireproofed and fireproofed condition
- basics of fire design of joints

Steel structures (1 op):
- standard fire curve
- temperature of a steel structure in fire
- temperature of a steel structure in flame-retardant condition
- effect of temperature on the strength and modulus of elasticity of steel
- cross-sectional class in fire
- resistance of steel structures to fire taking into account stability and interaction conditions
