An Experimental and Numerical Study on the Behavior of High Strength Concrete Columns in Fire Subjected to High Restraint

Faris Ali, Ali Nadjai, S. Choi

The first part of this paper represents the results of an experimental research executed on 42 high strength concrete columns. The parametric study investigated high strength…

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Flexural Behaviour of Hybrid Fibre Reinforced High Strength Concrete

Kazuo Watanabe, Mugume Bangi, Takashi Horiguchi

The structural properties of concrete have been studied most widely as a function of compressive strength at elevated temperature. However, only a limited number of studies have…

Thermo-Structural Analysis of an Open Section Cold-Formed Steel Beam in Contact with a Concrete Slab and a Masonry Wall in Fire Situation

Saulo Almeida, Ronaldo Rigobello, Jorge Neto, Valdir Silva

This work presents the results of numerical analyses, both thermal and structural, of a pinned-pinned open cross section of a "U-shaped" cold-formed steel beam in a fire…

Axially Loaded Stainless Steel Columns in Case of Fire

Nuno Lopes, Paulo Real, Luís da Silva, Jean-Marc Franssen

The simple model of Eurocode 3, for the fire resistance evaluation of stainless steel members, are based on the procedures used for carbon steel structural elements. However, due…

A Review of Models for the Charring Rate of Solid Wood, Nail- and Glue- Laminated Structural Members

Kathinka Friquin

Simple calculation models for charring rate of solid wood, nail- and glue-laminated structural elements for use in fire design of wooden structures have been compared with test…
