Key Issues

The structural fire performance tests for beam-to-column connections are critical in determining their fire performance at high temperatures. The current standard fire testing methods provide the procedures for establishing the fire resistance of each construction element exposed to a standard fire. However, these methods cannot verify the fire behaviour of the connections between building elements. Researchers have performed numerous fire tests on beam-to-column connections despite the lack of structural fire performance testing methods. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the structural fire performance testing methods for beam-to-column connections. The major areas in this review are travelling fires, development of travelling fires on beam-to-column connections, fire testing considerations, fire testing criteria, recent fire testing, and loading applications. This paper identifies the key issues and challenges of the structural fire performance testing methods for beam-to-column connections. Finally, this paper provides recommendations and discusses the way forward for structural fire performance tests on beam-to-column connections.

In Fire

There is a growing demand for fire safetyengineers. While new fire safety engineering programshave been created, the demand for highly qualifiedpersonnel is growing more rapidly than the supply of newgraduates. One particular challenge is the ability of asingle institution to offer the range of courses required ina comprehensive fire safety engineering program.Fire Performance Testing and other courses in theUW Fire Safety Engineering program are offered in amodular format: lectures are given over one week, andstudents submit coursework over the following four to sixmonths. This format allows a larger number of practicingengineers and faculty from other universities to take orteach courses. This paper focuses on the use ofvideoconference technology in ME 770. Since 2012 abouthalf of the students, and one of the instructors, have takenthe course or delivered their lectures by videoconference.Lessons learned, and efforts to establish modular firecourses with other universities, will also be discussed.
