Webinar: Advanced Solutions and Best Practices in Structural Fire Engineering

Learn how performance-based Structural Fire Engineering can address complex fire safety challenges while enabling safer, more efficient, and innovative building designs.

Did You Miss the Webinar or Want To Watch It Again?

Presented by Mikko Salminen and Tuomas Hakamäki, this on-demand webinar explores advanced Structural Fire Engineering (SFE) approaches that help architects, developers, contractors, and design professionals move beyond prescriptive code requirements and apply performance-based fire design principles to both new and existing structures.

The session examines how SFE provides a deeper understanding of how individual structural elements, building components, and entire structural systems respond during fire events. Through detailed analysis and realistic fire modeling, SFE can support safer, more efficient, and more innovative building designs.

The presenters discuss the limitations of traditional code-based approaches, which cannot account for every building configuration or fire scenario. The webinar highlights why manufacturers, architects, engineers, and designers should adopt informed, flexible strategies when evaluating structural materials and fire performance.

Using real-world case studies, this session demonstrates how a holistic, performance-based approach to structural fire design can:

  • Address complex fire safety challenges
  • Enable efficient and innovative design solutions
  • Provide realistic modeling for non-standard structures
  • Support informed decision-making beyond prescriptive code requirements
