Fire engineering - An introduction for structural engineers

A CPD Course on Fire Engineering led by Jenny Burridge of The Concrete Centre and Roger Plank of Sheffield University. The Course is intended for structural engineers seeking to expand their understanding of and skills in tackling design for structures in fire conditions.
 
The Aim of the Course
The principles of fire engineering, the behaviour and design of common structural materials and members, and how real structures perform in fire.
