Summary

1. Basic principles of fire resistance calculation, limit state method. 2. Temperature-time curves, standard time-temperature curve, probable fire time-temperature curve, heat transfer. 3. Steel structures - simplified heat exposure model, mechanical properties depending on temperature. 4. Steel structures - structural response model. 5. Steel structure - fire resistance assessment of structural elements and joints. 6. Composite steel and timber structures - simplified heat exposure model, mechanical properties depending on temperature. 7. Composite steel and timber structures - structural response model, fire resistance, assessment of structural elements and joints. 8. Timber structures - simplified heat exposure model. 9. Timber structures - mechanical properties depending on temperature, structural response model. 10. Timber structures - fire resistance assessment. 11. Concrete structures, simplified heat exposure model. 12. Concrete structures, mechanical properties versus temperature. 13. Concrete structures, structural response model of statically determinate and indeterminate structure. 14. Concrete structures, fire resistance assessment.
