A preliminary scheme for performance- based fire-resistant design of steel structures

LI Guo-qiang

Abstract

The disadvantages of the current codes in practice on fire-resistant design of steel structures are indicated, and a preliminary scheme for performance-based fire-resistant design of steel structures is proposed. The general aim, functional aim and the required performance of fire resistance of steel structures are introduced, which can satisfy different owners of different buildings. The key problems on the performance-based fire-resistant design of steel structures are discussed.(
