Abstract
This chapter will introduce heat transfer from a fire to structural steel components and its modeling in the context of structural engineering for fire safety. There are three basic mechanisms of heat transfer (a) conduction, (b) convection and (c) radiation. In conduction, energy is exchanged in solids on a molecular scale but without any movement of macroscopic portions of matter relative to one another. Convection refers to heat transfer at the interface between a fluid and a solid surface. Radiation is the exchange of energy by electromagnetic waves which can be absorbed, transmitted or reflected at a surface. Unlike conduction and convection, heat transfer by radiation does not require any intervening medium between the heat source and the receiver.
