Understanding the effect of recycled concrete aggregate and cementitious materials on concrete's fire resistance

Mohammed Ahmed Abed, Eva Lubloy

Fire can severely affect concrete structures and with knowledge of the properties of materials, the damage can be assessed. Aggregate, cement matrix and their interaction are the…

Fire performance of hybrid mass timber beam-end connections with perpendicular-to-wood grain reinforcement

Oluwamuyiwa Okunrounmu, Osama (Sam) Salem, George Hadjisophocleous

The fire resistance of timber structures is heavily dependent on the fire behaviour of the connections between its structural elements. The experimental study presented in this…

Fire resistance of partially encased composite columns subjected to eccentric loading

Abdelkadir Fellouh, Abdelkader Bougara, Paulo Piloto, Nourredine Benlakehal

Investigate the fire performance of eccentrically loaded concrete partially encased column (PEC), using the advanced calculation method (ANSYS 18.2, 2017) and the simple…

Behavior of thermo-mechanically treated rebar exposed to elevated temperatures

Bishwajeet Choubey, Virendra Kumar, Sekhar Chandra Dutta, Saurav Kumar Saikia

The purpose of the paper is to mathematically model and predict the characteristics of thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) rebar when subjected to elevated temperatures.

Evaluation of mechanical properties and post-fire cured strength recovery of recycled aggregate concrete

N. Suresh, Vadiraj Rao, B.S. Akshay

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the suitability of post-fire curing for normal and Recycled Aggregate Concretes (RAC) with and without fibres.

Finite element analysis of lightweight concrete-filled LSF walls exposed to realistic design fire

Irindu Upasiri, Chaminda Konthesingha, Anura Nanayakkara, Keerthan Poologanathan, Gatheeshgar Perampalam, Dilini Perera

Light-Gauge Steel Frame (LSF) structures are popular in building construction due to their lightweight, easy erecting and constructability characteristics. However, due to steel…

Emissivity of hot-dip galvanized surfaces in future development of EN 1993-1-2

Batuhan Der, Sylvie Raszková, František Wald, Gisèle Bihina, Christian Gaigl, Vasile Rus, Mikko Malaska

This study aims to propose a new design value, based on experimental and numerical studies, for surface emissivity of zinc hot-dip galvanized members exposed to fire.

Behavior of RC flat plate structure subjected to compartment fires

Khadejah Alameen Abouleiwun, Hazem M.F. Elbakry, Muhammad Ahmed Diab, S.F. El-Fitiany

In this study, the behavior of a multi-story flat plate structure during fire exposure is investigated using numerical simulations conducted with using ABAQUS software.

Evaluation of the fire performance of unprotected composite beams with fin-plate joints

Naoya Yotsumoto, Takeo Hirashima, Koji Toyoda

This paper aims to investigate the fire performance of composite beams when considering the hogging moment resistance of the fin-plate beam-to-girder joints including the effect…
