Project description

Safety and sustainability require designing buildings for the decay phase. To enable this, (i) models for the fire decay phase will be developed; (ii) decay phase properties of concrete will be determined; (iii) structural models will be developed and validated for decay phase performance; and (iv) uncertainties will be quantified and a reliability-based design approach developed.
