Abstract
This book presents the proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference Structures in Fire. The conference took place at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, Portugal, from 19 to 21 June 2024, under the auspices of the SIF movement. Structural fire safety is a crucial aspect of the design of buildings and infrastructures. Significant advances in research have increased the knowledge on this topic. However, until the 1990s, there were few forums for structural fire engineers to exchange ideas and share research findings. SIF (Structures in Fire) specialised workshop series was conceived in the late 1990s and the “First International SIF Workshop” was held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000, followed by workshops in Christchurch, New Zealand (2002), Ottawa, Canada (2004) and Aveiro, Portugal (2006). The series of workshops evolved into conferences and the 2008 event in Singapore was the fifth International Conference on Structures in Fire. This was followed by events in East Lansing, USA (2010), Zurich, Switzerland (2012), Shanghai, China (2014), New Jersey, USA (2016), Belfast, UK (2018), Brisbane, Australia (2020) and Hong Kong, China (2022). Information about previous conferences, including complete proceedings, can be found at www.structuresinfire.com. The main mission of SIF conferences is to provide an opportunity for researchers and engineers from the global structural fire engineering community to participate, share and discuss the recent findings, innovations and developments with their peers in an open and international forum. Following the great success of the previous International Conferences, the University of Coimbra was selected to host the 13th International Conference on Structures in Fire. As with most of the recent conferences, the number of papers submitted far exceeds the number of papers that can be accommodated in the three-day programme, even with two parallel sessions. SIF 2024 received 249 abstracts before the deadline and accepted 172 abstracts after the review process by at least three reviewers from the scientific committee. These proceedings represent 132 full papers, collectively representing the state of the art in fundamental knowledge and practical application of structures in fire. Forty-two countries from around the globe have contributed to them. The papers are grouped into the following research topics: Applications of Structural Fire Engineering, Composite Structures in Fire, Concrete Structures in Fire, Timber Structures in Fire, Masonry Structures in Fire, Steel Structures in Fire, Experimental Research of Structures in Fire, Numerical Modelling of Structures in Fire, Other Topics Related to Structures in Fire. Finally, the Organizing Committee would like to thank the continuous support from the SIF Steering Committee chaired by Prof Jean-Marc Franssen. We also would like to thank to the Scientific Committee chaired by Prof Paulo Vila Real, the authors and all the supporting staff (and volunteer team) from the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) in Coimbra, for making SIF 2024 a successful conference.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
