CFD simulations for evaluating the wind effects on high-rise buildings having varying cross-sectional shape

Ark Rukhaiyar, Bhagya Jayant, Kunal Dahiya, Rahul Kumar Meena, Ritu Raj

In this study the comparison is presented for the variation in cross-sectional shape along the height of the building model. For this purpose Model B and Model C are having the…

Residual mechanical properties of basalt fibre reinforced cement mortars at elevated temperatures

Naveen Revanna, Charles K.S. Moy

A study on the mechanical characteristics of cementitious mortar reinforced with basalt fibres at ambient and elevated temperatures was carried out. To investigate their effect…

Structural performance of single-skin glass façade systems exposed to fire

Mohamed Badr, Maged A. Youssef, Salah El-Fitiany, Ajitanshu Vedrtnam

Understanding the structural performance of external glass curtain walls (façades) during fire exposure is critical for the safety of the occupants as their failure can lead to…

Parametric study on the residual compressive strength of RC columns subjected to different standard fire durations and load ratios

Sara Mirzabagheri, Osama (Sam) Salem

Since columns are critical structural elements, they shall withstand hazards without any considerable damage. In the case of a fire, although concrete has low thermal conductivity…

Thermomechanical behavior of Glulam-beam connected to CLT-wall assemblies with steel doweled connections before, during and after fire

Milad Shabanian, Nicole Leo Braxtan

Thermomechanical behavior of intermediate-size beam-to-wall assemblies including Glulam-beams connected to cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls with T-shape steel doweled…

Thermo-mechanical behavior of CLT beam-to-girder assemblies connected with T-shaped dowelled connections before, during and after fire exposure

Milad Shabanian, Nicole Leo Braxtan

3-ply cross-laminated timber (CLT) is used to investigate the thermo-mechanical performance of intermediate-size assemblies comprised of T-shaped welded slotted-in steel doweled…

Determination of elevated temperature material properties by ANN-based FE model

Irindu Upasiri, Chaminda Konthesingha, Anura Nanayakkara, Keerthan Poologanathan

Elevated temperature material properties are essential in predicting structural member's behavior in high-temperature exposures such as fire. Even though experimental…
