Research and Markets: Structural Health Monitoring 2010: Proceedings of the 5th European Workshop

This volume presents a key focus on the behavior of structures under fire exposure, including the "art, science and practice of structural fire engineering", including the following topics: Fire and thermal models for fire resistance evaluation; Numerical modeling of structures exposed to fire; Simple calculation methods; Experimental studies; Material behavior at high temperature; Practical applications and case studies; Analysis of ""whole structure"" behavior; and Steel, concrete, masonry, timber, aluminum, and composite structures.
