"The purpose of this manual is to provide an analytical method of evaluating the fire endurance of structures made of precast and prestressed concrete. The manual brings together information from many sources, and presents the data in a convenient form. Example problems illustrate the use of the design aids and principles outlined in the text. In recent years, building officials, architects, and engineers have become increasingly aware of the unreliability of results of fire tests. Through the use of the engineering principles outlined in this manual, a greater degree of reliability in predicting fire endurance of structures or assemblies can be achieved. It is the hope of the PCI Fire Commi...
