About the Editor
Kevin LaMalva

has 14 years of experience as a fire/structural consultant with dual registration in both fire protection engineering and civil engineering. Aside from faithfully serving clients, Kevin is a member of numerous industry committees (ASCE/SEI, SFPE, ICC, NIST, NFPA, and others) that conduct research and develop standards for structural fire safety. Notably, Kevin led a group of over 50 engineers to develop a first-of-its-kind ASCE/SEI Exemplar Design Guide for structural fire engineering. For his efforts in advancing structural fire safety, Kevin was awarded the distinction of ENR Newsmaker for serving the best interests of the construction industry and the public.

Danny Hopkin

is a chartered engineer, fellow of the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and professional member of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). He studied structural engineering before completing a doctorate in structural fire safety. Danny is the Technical Director of OFR Consultants in the UK and a Visiting Professor in structural fire safety at the University of Sheffield. He has delivered specialist structural fire input on high profile projects, including the Google HQ in London. He has also undertaken research in the fields of performance-based structural fire design, reliability, and mass/engineered timber structures. Danny was the chairman of the committees overseeing the revision of PD 7974-1 and PD 7974-3, while contributing to PD 7974-7 and the ongoing revision of Eurocode 5, part 1.2.

1.1 The Handbook and Target Audience

This handbook is intended to provide the readers with an understanding of structural performance in the event of fire. It has been written to mirror the anticipated workflow of a structural (fire) engineering consultancy by encouraging consideration of project goals, likely fires that might develop, manifestation and estimation of thermal boundary conditions and structural element temperatures, and material and element response to heating. Separate chapters are provided in support of specific considerations, namely for those interested in reliability-based analysis of structures in the event of fire, advanced calculation methods for fire-exposed structures, and inspection/reinstatement of fire-damaged structures. The handbook has called upon the input of global experts to deliver a resource that brings together a significant volume of material on the topic of structural performance in the event of fire. The book is primarily written for practicing consulting engineers. However, it is foreseen that it can be a useful resource for students of structural engineering who wish to develop a deeper understanding of structural performance in the event of fire, as well as building authorities to assist with review of such alternative designs.
