Fire Resilience in Steel-Concrete Structures Part I: Insights from Full-Scale Testing
This online engineering CPD course provides critical insights from full-scale fire experiments on steel-concrete composite floor systems.
This course empowers engineers and construction professionals to apply advanced fire-resilience principles, ensuring structural integrity under fire exposure while implementing performance-based fire protection strategies. By bridging the gap between research and practice, this course explores the essential tools to meet modern fire-resistance standards. It emphasizes enhancing occupant safety and reducing infrastructure vulnerabilities. As the first part of a two-part series, this course stands alone, allowing participants to take it independently.
This 7 CPD online course is applicable to structural engineers, as well as other technical professionals involved in the design and regulation of structures, preparing them to address fire safety challenges effectively.
This continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the role of fire resilience in steel-concrete composite systems
- Explaining an experimental framework for fire testing
- Analyzing the thermal and structural responses of composite floor systems
