Understanding the Impact of Fire on Structural Building Components
Description:
Understanding the impact of fire on structural building components is key for the structural engineers to design safer and more resilient structures. For concrete and masonry structures, engineers can use ACI/TMS 216.1 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies to examine how cast-in building structural elements will be affected by exposure to the high temperatures of a fire. In this seminar, we will discuss how engineers can account for these fire and high heat conditions in their post-installed reinforcing bar designs for concrete-to-concrete connections. We will also review the new optional fire load test included in the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria (AC429), which provides a standardized method for evaluating the performance of post-installed reinforcement under elevated temperature conditions
About Our Speaker:
Kenton McBride, Ph.D., P.E., is Director of Anchor Codes and Standards for Hilti North America. Kenton is a registered professional engineer in California and received his PhD from the University of Florida, where his research focused on the steel capacity of anchors in stand-off connections. He is the president of the Concrete and Masonry Anchor Manufacturer’s Association and member of ACI 318 Subcommittee B (reinforcement and anchorage), ACI 355 (anchorage to concrete), ACI 216 (fire design of reinforced concrete structures), and several other anchor related-committees.
