Bridge fires are a major concern because of the consequences that these kind of events have and because they are a real threat. However, bridge fire response is under researched and not covered in the codes. This paper ...
This paper studies bridge fires by using numerical models to analyze the response of a typical girder bridge to tanker truck fires. It explains the influence of fire position, bridge configuration (vertical clearance, ...

[EN] Bridge fire response is a barely studied topic not covered in current design codes despite the frequency and consequences of this kind of events. Within this context, this paper analyzes the response of a multi-girder ...
[EN] The consequences of bridge fires and the lack of guidelines on the evaluation of the fire resistance of bridges have triggered a lot of recent research. Most of these studies are based on numerical models and thus ...
[EN] Bridge fires are a major concern and the subject of many studies that use numerical models. However, experimental studies are still required to test the validity of these numerical models and improve their accuracy. ...
