Prepared by the Post-Earthquake Fire Hazard Task Group of the Fire Protection Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Post-Earthquake Fire Assessment of Buildings: Evaluation Framework presents background for the analysis, design, and assessment of building structural systems under fire following earthquakes and intends to provide guidance based on current state-of-the-art practices, applicable building codes, and outcomes of experimental and numerical research results.

Topics include

• Documented observations during historic post-earthquake...

Prepared by the Fire Protection Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE Structural Fire Engineering provides best practices for the field of performance-based structural fire engineering design. When structural systems are heated by fire, they experience thermal effects that are not contemplated by conventional structural engineering design. Traditionally, structural fire protection is prescribed for structures after they have been optimized for ambient design loads, such as gravity, wind, and seismic, among others. This century-old prescriptive framework endeavors to...
