Bridges are important parts of traffic systems and need to provide the necessary safety for the traveling public. Fire is one of the most severe hazards that bridges may subject to during their lifetime. In recent years, due to rapid development of transportation systems, as well as increasing transport of hazardous materials, bridge fires have become a concern. Bridge fires caused by crashing of vehicles and burning of gasoline are much more severe than building fires and are characterized by a fast heating rate and a higher peak temperature which could lead to bridge collapse. Bridge failures during a fire can result in the disruption of commerce and services, and most importantly the loss of human life. It has become necessary to consider the potential exposure of bridges to flames from oil or liquefied petroleum gas fires. In this paper, potential fire scenarios relevant for a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Yangtze River are analyzed firstly, then the temperature distribution in key elements and the global structural behavior of the bridge under tanker truck fires is calculated by using general purpose finite element analysis software ANSYS. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that cable-stayed bridge may collapse under some specific fire scenarios and it is necessary to consider fire safety in bridge design.

Structural Specification

Due to growing urbanization the building material such as concrete, steel and steel composite structures are used predominantly in many countries across the world. while considering the environment hazard due to carbon emission the introduction of wood as building material is used for structural specification even in case entire building structure is also build with the help of wood as its structural components. In this study the wood as a building material is to be considered in previous works that how the material behaves what are the factors to be considered for design is to be studied and finally conclude that if the wood is suitable for the building material for a structure.
