Syllabus

1. Fire safety - principles of the thermal analysis, fire loads, basis of the fire reliability. 2. Steel in fire - properties of steel in high temperature, basic principles of the behaviour of steel structures in fire. 3. Fire resistance and reliability of steel structural members subjected to tension. 4. Fire resistance and reliability of steel structural members subjected to compression. 5. Fire resistance and reliability of steel structural members subjected to bending. 6. Concrete in fire - properties of concrete in high temperatures, basic principles of the behaviour of composite steel-concrete structures in fire. 7. Fire resistance and reliability of composite steel-concrete structural members subjected to compression - the column of steel hollow cross-section filled by concrete. 8. Fire resistance and reliability of composite steel-concrete structural members subjected to compression - the column of steel open cross-section fully and partially concrete encased. 9.
