Structural fire engineering covers the response of load-bearing structures to fire exposure. Articles connect the fire environment, heat transfer into structural members and the resulting changes in material behaviour, deformation and load-bearing performance.
Topics include fire resistance, steel, concrete and timber, together with charring, spalling and thermal expansion. The category also covers fire exposure curves, calculation methods, restraint and the response of structural systems. It links the assessment of individual members with wider questions of structural stability and the progression of damage during a fire.
