Material Properties of Steel Fire Conditions is a major new contribution on how to understand the material properties of steel in fires. The application of new types of steel and development of sophisticated codes of practice has grown dramatically in recent years, making this a timely resource on the topic. Under fire conditions, knowing the material properties of steel is essential in the fire resistance design of steel structures, such as in Eurocode3. This book shows that the reduction factors of mechanical properties of different steels are quite different. In recent years, the authors of this book have carried out significant testing on the material properties of several types of steels, such as Q460 steel, Q690 steel and A992 steel, etc.
Users will find this new test data on the material properties of steel with temperature useful in evaluating the fire resistance of steel structures in their own projects.

Weiyong Wang is a professor and director in the Institute of Safety
& Disaster Prevention Engineering of College of Civil Engineering
at the Chongqing University (CQU). He received his Ph.D. from
Tongji University, China in June 2008. From March to July in 2010,
he worked as a visiting professor sponsored by Japan Society for
the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in Tokyo University of Science
(TUS), Japan. From January to November in 2011, He worked for
Professor Kodur Venkatesh as a research associate in Michigan State
University (MSU), USA. From May 2014 to September in 2015, he
worked as a visiting scholar sponsored by China Scholarship Council
(CSC) in University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), USA. Venkatesh
Kodur is Professor and Chair person in the department of Civil &
Environmental Engineering, and also serves as Director of the
Center on Structural Fire Safety and Diagnostics at the Michigan
State University (MSU). He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from
Queen’s University, Canada in 1988 and 1992, respectively.
Dr. Kodur's research has focused on the experimental behaviour and
analytical modelling of structural systems under extreme fire
conditions; Constitutive modelling of material properties at
elevated temperatures, developing guidelines for fire resistance
design of structural systems, Evaluating fire performance of high
performing materials; Performance based fire safety design,
Non-linear design and analysis of structures, Failure
investigations.
He has collaborated closely with various industries, funding
agencies and international organizations and developed simplified
design approaches for evaluating fire resistance, and innovative
and cost-effective solutions for enhancing fire-resistance of
structural systems. Many of these design approaches and fire
resistance solutions have been incorporated in to various codes and
standards (NBC, ACI, ASCE, SFPE). He has published over 300
peer-reviewed papers in international journals and conferences in
structural, material and fire resistance areas and has given
numerous invited key-note presentations.
He is a professional engineer, Fellow of Canadian Academy of
Engineering, Foreign Fellow on Indian National Academy of
engineers, Fellow of ASCE and Fellow of ACI and member of SFPE. He
serves as Associate Editor of Journal of Structural Engineering and
Journal of Structural Fire Engineering, Chairman of ASCE Standards
Committee on Fire Resistance, Chairman of ACI-TMS Committee 216 on
Fire Protection and a member of EPSRC (UK) College of Reviewers. He
has won many awards including AISC Faculty Fellowship Award for
innovation in structural steel design and construction (2007), NRCC
outstanding achievement award (2003) and NATO award for
collaborative research. Dr. Kodur was part of the FEMA/ASCE
Building Performance Assessment Team that studied the collapse of
WTC buildings as a result of September 11 incidents.
