Structural Response to Dynamic Loads

Ongoing international collaborative research clearly demonstrates that the concept of adiabatic surface temperature is a simple single parameter to describe the complex convective and radiative conditions to which the surface of a structural element is exposed during fire. This parameter is a convenient and simple interface between fire and thermal/structural models. This paper presents existing published and new unpublished research for fire/structural engineers so as to contribute to the advancement of the engineering practice of designing structures in fire.
