(3 units). Fundamentals and scientific aspects of the behaviour of materials during fires and the fire hazards of materials. Topics to be covered include material specifications, thermal and mechanical properties, structural fire response, residual strength, failure criteria, mechanisms of flame retardancy, and standards and testing protocols. This course is equivalent to CIVE 5615 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
