Lecture
This lecture covers the basics of fire safety and engineering, including conventional fire, natural fire, and thermal action. It discusses the stability of structures in fire, different fire models, and the impact of thermal actions. The instructor explains the importance of considering all parameters in fire protection measures and how to choose the most representative fire model. The lecture also delves into advanced fire models, such as field models and single-zone models. It emphasizes the significance of understanding the behavior of materials under fire conditions and the critical role of ventilation in fire control.
