Note publique d'information : "Preface Since the publication of the second edition of this book, Structural Fire
Safety Engineering has become a recognized engineering discipline and prompted the
need for a third edition. Advances of the discipline also allowed updating of various
sections such as material modelling. The intention of this text is to provide tools
to fire safety engineers to enable them to design structures that can withstand the
accidental effects of fires that result in total or partial destruction. Other than
references to furnace testing (whose data are mainly historical), the authors concentrated
on the European Design Codes. Designers should still be aware that any design code
is subject to revision or amendment and that it is essential that the most recent
edition of any guidance be used. Where this produces a discrepancy between this text
and a code, the code must be considered the final arbiter. The large scale fire tests
carried out at Cardington led to a reassessment of frame behaviour, especially in
relation to composite steel-concrete frame structures in that whole structure performance
markedly outweighs performances of single elements and connection details significantly
affect both types of behaviours. In discussions of Eurocodes, national annexes were
not considered directly. Any nationally determined parameters were taken at recommended
values and not amended to conform to an individual country's national guidance. "
