Whilst the majority of the text is concerned with structural design, aspects such as escape, evacuation and smoke control are also covered. The text gives the background to the limit state fire design of structures using both hand calculations and computer simulation. It covers design to current British Standards and Eurocodes for all common structural materials. The book commences with an overview of the rationale
