Stability check of tapered steel beams in fire

Carlos Couto, Élio Maia, Paulo Vila Real, Nuno Lopes

The purpose of this paper is to assess whether the adaptation to fire of current proposals/design methodologies at normal temperature is capable of producing accurate predictions…

Experimental investigation on the compressive strength of PFGP-covered concretes exposed to high temperature

Amir Hamzeh Keykha

This study aims to investigate the effect of high temperature (600°C) on the compressive strength of concrete covered with a mixture of polypropylene fiber and gypsum plaster…

Shear tab connection with composite beam subjected to transient-state fire temperatures: A rational model for design

Mohammad Hajjar, Elie Hantouche, Ahmad El Ghor

Life safety in single story steel frame buildings, part I – deterministic design

Joakim Sandström

This paper aims to discuss fire safety design of single-story, single compartment buildings and evaluates whether time to structural damage is a relevant criterion when lethal…

A detailed investigation on thermal behaviour of slim floor beams with web openings at elevated temperatures

Naveed Alam, Ali Nadjai, Olivier Vassart, Francois Hanus

In recent times, the use of steel sections with web openings has become common as slim floor beams because they offer a reduction in weight of the steelwork, accommodate services…
