Performance of hybrid fibres on mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete at elevated temperature

Sachin B.P., N. Suresh

The present experimental investigation attempts to study the behaviour of hybrid fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFSCC) subjected to elevated temperature. The purpose…

Damage evaluation of a full-scale RC frame exposed to multiple extreme loads

Virendra Kumar

The occurrence of multiple hazards in extreme conditions is not unknown nowadays, but the sustainability of the reinforced concrete structures under such scenarios form…

Thermal creep of shear tab connection assemblies under transient-state temperatures of fire

Karim Al Khatib, Elie Hantouche, Mohammed Ali Morovat

This study aims to investigate the thermal creep behavior of steel frame assemblies with shear tab connections subjected to transient-state fire temperatures. Different key…

Linear analysis of a two-dimensional multistorey reinforced concrete frame under high temperature at different column locations

Parthasarathi N., Satyanarayanan K.S., Thamilarau V., Prakash M., Adithya Punnapu

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of progressive collapse under high temperature for a reinforced concrete (RC) frame. An analytical programme was analysed…

Behaviour of restrained steel beam at elevated temperature – parametric studies

Ahmed Allam, Ayman Nassif, Ali Nadjai

This paper aims to investigate computationally and analytically how different levels of restraint from surrounding structure, via catenary action in beams, affect the survival of…

An equivalent stress method to account for local buckling in beam finite elements subjected to fire

Chrysanthos Maraveas, Thomas Gernay, Jean-Marc Franssen

The purpose of this paper is to present an improved temperature-dependent constitutive model for steel that accounts for local instabilities of slender plates using an effective…

Thermal behaviour of a novel non-composite cellular beam floor system in fire

Hendrig Marx, Richard Walls

The Southern African Institute of Steel Construction has developed a novel cellular beam structure (CBS) for multi-storey buildings that is entirely devoid of concrete. Channel…
