Abstract: | This report is the revised edition of HERA Report R4 -131:2006, developed by A/Prof Charles Clifton, former HERA Senior Structural Engineer. It presents the Slab Panel Method (SPM) of designing composite steel floor systems, comprising concrete slabs supported on steel beams, for dependable inelastic response in severe fires, while allowing many of the supporting beams to be unprotected. It is a high temperature fire design procedure, in which significant deformation of unprotected elements, and the floor supported by those elements, is anticipated and designed for. |
