It identifies current gaps in the research and provides a more complete understanding of the structural and thermal response of contemporary Post-tensioned (PT) concrete structures to fire. The brief includes chapters on contemporary construction using PT concrete, previous structural fire test research programs, recent research programs, real fire case studies, and current research needs. It explores the progression of PT concrete structures, looking at the sustainability and aesthetic benefits, the ongoing development of stronger concretes, and best practice guidance for improving safety in the event of fire. Designed for practitioners and researchers in fire engineering, this brief is a valuable tool for those studying the impact of fire on concrete, fire safety designs, and building safety optimization. Advanced-level students in civil engineering will also find the content useful.SpringerBriefs in Fire,2193-6595Buildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalBuildingsThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferBuilding Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Building Types and Functionshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K13004Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Buildings.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Building Construction and Design.Building Types and Functions.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.620Gales Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut998014Hartin Kathleenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBisby Lukeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910255017903321Structural Fire Performance of Contemporary Post-tensioned Concrete Construction2289022UNINA
