Aprašymas

This volume brings together selected papers presented in the proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Plasticity and Impact Mechanics (IMPLAST-2025) held at IIT Roorkee, addressing the critical behaviour of structural elements and overall systems exposed to natural and man-made fire. It explores thermal effects on material degradation, structural deformation, progressive collapse, and residual load-carrying capacity. The current volume covers experimental fire testing, heat transfer analysis, and thermo-mechanical coupling in wood, metal, concrete, and composite structures. Emphasis has been made on both prescriptive and performance-based fire design strategies. The book also includes computational techniques such as finite element modelling for simulating fire-structure interaction and fire-induced failure modes. Real-world case studies from building fires and tunnels enhance the practical relevance. This volume serves as a comprehensive reference for structural engineers, researchers, and fire safety professionals aiming to improve infrastructure resilience under elevated temperatures.
