Fire Engineering Design for Buildings

Catalog description

Principles of fire engineering design aspects for buildings, from fire and smoke development to heat transfer, egress and the thermo-mechanical response of structural systems. A key focus is on characterizing pre and post-flashover fires in buildings and the design and behavior structural steel and reinforced concrete members to resist fire thermal loads. Prerequisite (or corequisite): CEE 280 Advanced Structural Analysis and undergraduate course in design of steel structures.
