Structural fire engineering

• 🇳🇿Fire Engineering Investigation of a Cold-Formed Steel Framed House FireNASH NZ (Steel-Framed Housing) · 2013A University of Auckland fire-engineering investigation (for NASH) of a fully developed fire in a light steel-framed house — quantifying the fire severity and the performance of the linings and steel frame.
• 🇳🇿Fire Performance of Steel Structures (SESOC)Structural Engineering Society NZ (SESOC) · 2016A SESOC conference paper on the structural fire design of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns in multi-storey buildings, proposing a new design method aligned with AS/NZS 2327.
• 🇳🇿Fire Resistance Requirements in Single-Storey Buildings (BRANZ SR417)BRANZ · 2019A BRANZ study report investigating fire-resistance requirements for external walls near boundaries in single-storey industrial and warehouse buildings, as part of research on limiting fire spread.
• 🇳🇿Foundation for Risk-Informed Fire Safety Design (BRANZ SR430)BRANZ · 2019A BRANZ study report laying the foundation for a risk-informed approach to fire safety design under the Building Code and C/VM2 — identifying the supporting data and uncertainties involved.
• 🇳🇿Structural Steel Fire Design (SCNZ FIR1001)Steel Construction New Zealand · February 2009A Steel Construction NZ guide (FIR1001) on fire-engineering design of multi-storey steel structures — alternative (performance-based) design methods that meet or exceed the Building Code beyond NZS 3404's element approach.
