Fire Engineering in Croatia

Fires obviously cannot be prevented, but structures can be designed, built and maintained in a better way. In order to achieve this, an adequate system should be established which takes decades and includes many segments. This primarily refers to the development of legislative and technical regulations, development of an education system (education of future design engineers and persons responsible for system implementation and development of scientific research), creating of a system for monitoring of the designed measures, etc. For the above reasons, the Civil Engineering Faculty of the University of Zagreb and the institutions it cooperates with organized one-year (two-semester) specialist post-graduate study of Fire Engineering which will be described in this paper. This multidisciplinary study will provide students a complete overview and necessary knowledge of Fire Engineering which includes structural, material, sociological, physical, economical and ecological aspects as well as risk assessment methodologies.
