Member and structural fragility of reinforced concrete structure under fire

Ranjit Kumar Chaudhary, Tathagata Roy, Vasant Matsagar

Despite recognizing the significance of risk-based frameworks in fire safety engineering, the usual approach in structural fire design is largely member/component level, wherein…

Timber beam in virtual furnace

Kamila Cabová, Filip Zeman, Lukáš Blesák, Martin Benýšek, František Wald

This paper aims to present a part of a coupled numerical model for prediction the fire resistance of elements in a horizontal furnace. Temperatures calculated inside the timber…

Study on fire resistance of prefabricated concrete beam-column joint with end-plates

Shufeng Li, Le Deng, Zhao Di

The purpose of this study is to put forward a high-strength bolt end-plate connection of prefabricated concrete beam-column joint and carry out the pseudo-static test.

Info-analytic technologies in the work of fire and rescue units using infrared technologies

Hai T. Nguyen, Nikolay Topolsky, Denis Tarakanov, Alexander Mokshantsev

The salvation of human life is the goal of work for all rescue units. At the same time, a significant part of rescue operations is carried out in buildings or premises, which…

Development of hybrid fire testing by real-time subdivision of physical and numerical substructures

Nicolas Pinoteau, Duc Toan Pham, Hong Hai Nguyen, Romain Mège

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a hybrid fire testing by real-time subdivision of physical and numerical substructures (NSs) on simplified structures as a milestone…

Performance of steel-plate shear wall at high temperature

Morteza Jamshidi, Heydar Dashti NaserAbadi, Mohammadreza Oliaei

The high heat induced by fire can substantially decrease the load-bearing capacity, which is more critical in unprotected steel structures than concrete reinforced structures. One…

Experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios

Anjaly Nair, Osama (Sam) Salem

At elevated temperatures, concrete undergoes changes in its mechanical and thermal properties, which mainly cause degradation of strength and eventually may lead to the failure of…
