‘Fire Performance of Thin-Walled Steel Structures is . . . highly recommended. As the first book devoted to this fast-growing topic, it manages to compile, in a clear and concise manner, a number of subjects which understanding is fundamental to approach the fire design of thin-walled structures.’
Thomas Gernay, Fire Technology
