CIVE 634 Design of Civil Engineering Structures for Fire Protection
The course introduces the concepts of fire science and provides an outline of the key stages in ignition, fire growth and combustion products as they relate to fires in civil engineering constructions. Detailed methodologies for material selection, containment, fire resistant design, fire severity and post fire damage evaluation are presented and related to the requirements of various modern building codes. The course addresses issues faced by architects, fire safety engineers, civil engineers and building code regulators in controlling the effects of fire on civil engineering constructions and the available techniques, materials and design methodologies.
