Basic Approach for the Diagnosis of Concrete after Fire Exposure

Emmanuel Annerel, Luc Taerwe

Concrete structures have a good fire resistance. After the fire, depending on the amount of damage, they may be repaired and reused. However, knowledge is needed to do this in a…

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of the Temperature Distribution Within Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Exposed to Fire

Massimo Fragiacomo, Agnese Menis, Peter Moss, Andrew Buchanan, Isaia Clemente

The fire resistance evaluation of a timber member is an important and complex problem of structural design. In order to solve this problem, it is crucial to have reliable…

Analysis of Composite Floor Cellular Steel Beams in Fire

Ali Nadjai, Nathan Goodfellow, Kong Fah Tee, Faris Ali, Sengkwan Choi

The growing popularity of the use of cellular steel beams in composite floors comes at the same time as an increasing attention to the fire safety engineering design. The…

Tensile Membrance Action of Composite Slab Panels in Fire - Simple VS. Advanced Models

Wee Toh, Nick Bernabè

This paper presents a comparison, based on real practical case studies, between the simple analytical BRE-Bailey method (BRE-BM) and the advanced finite element model (FEM) Vulcan…

Examination of the Mechanical Properties of Steel S460 for Fire

Jörg Lange, Ninja Wohlfeil

To establish a basis for calculating the load-bearing capacity of steel members made of S460 in a fire, corresponding to EN 1993-1-2, the mechanical properties of the…
