Presents the findings on behaviours of steel structural components in a fire, such as the catenary actions of restrained steel beams, the design methods for restrained steel columns, and the membrane actions of concrete floor slabs with steel decks. The book is of interest to architects, code officials, building designers and fire fighters.
