Task Group 1.2
Structures Design of Bridges against Fire Hazards Mission Statement/Objectives Increase the awareness of the importance and consequences of fires on bridges.
The group will base its activities on the outcome of the predecessor TG1.2 (2016 – 2023): Papers from special sessions in IABSE conferences and the special issue of IABSE's journal "Structural Engineering International" with the topic "New developments for the resilient fire design of singular buildings and engineering infrastructure" (see links to the papers and the "Introduction" in the "Downloads" section). T.G. 1.2's current scope is to organise two webinars in 2024/2025 where practitioners and academics from different countries will explain all the details of structural fire design applied to bridges: from risk analysis to detailed case studies. These webinars will be an important step forward towards the publication of a set of "Guidelines for the Design of Bridges vis-à-vis fire hazards" in the form of a SED book which is foreseen for 2027.
