CEE 284F – Fire Engineering Design for Buildings (Stanford University)

This graduate course introduces the principles and practice of performance-based fire engineering for buildings, emphasizing the thermo-mechanical response of structural systems. Topics include fire dynamics, heat transfer, temperature-dependent material behavior, structural analysis under elevated temperatures, smoke and plume behavior, design fires, and performance-based design for steel and concrete structures. Students complete a term project developing a structural fire engineering assessment for a real building using finite element analysis and design calculations.
