Technical Reports

 

As part of a DETR funded PiT (Partners in Technology) project the Structures in Fire Group recently conducted extensive computational and analytical studies of the behaviour of steel-framed composite structures in fire conditions.  This work was undertaken in collaboration with Corus PLC and Imperial College London.  The results were presented in the form of a main report, which indentified the main findings, together with numerous supplementary reports which explored various phenomena in detail.  The reports produced at Edinburgh are available for download as indicated below.
