This webinar provides a solid background on structural fire engineering, starting with the fundamentals of fire resistance, including fire resistance ratings, and then introduces the structural fire engineering approaches being used today. These methodologies range from simplified structural checks to advanced numerical models. The lecture demonstrates how structural fire engineering can benefit projects and help owners, contractors, designers and fabricators meet today's industry challenges. The examples will provide corresponding quantified savings to assist in understanding the benefits, and the opportunities for application are given in the context of current codes and standards.
