PhD Project:
Effective Modelling and Design of Structural Connections in Fire
A good understanding of the global behaviour of steel-concrete structures in fire has been developed over the last ten years. This understanding is sufficient for performance based designs to now be used quite widely. However, the detailed behaviour of the connections in such structures in fire conditions has not been the subject of sufficient research. Questions about how to model connections in fire and what forces they should be designed for are now becoming more prominent and during the course of this project, primarily through detailed numerical modelling, we hope to answer some of these questions and consider how this could affect the current design process.Project funded by EPSRC and Arup
