Unbonded Post Tensioned Concrete Slabs in Fire - Part I - Experimental Response of Unbonded Tendons under Transient Localized Heating

John Gales, Luke Bisby, Martin Gillie

The fire-safe structural design and construction of unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) flat plate concrete structures has recently come under debate in the UK, and questions are being…

Unbonded Post Tensioned Concrete Slabs in Fire - Part II - Modelling Tendon Response and the Consequences of Localized Heating

John Gales, Luke Bisby, Martin Gillie

This is Part II of a two part paper dealing with the current state of knowledge of the fire-safe structural design and construction of unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) flat plate…

Influence of Polypropylene Fibres on the Thermal Strain of High Strength Concrete at High Temperatures

Sven Huismann, Frank Weise, Birgit Meng, Ulrich Schneider

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the influence of polypropylene (PP) fibres on the thermal strain of high strength concrete (HSC) at temperatures up to…

Experimental Tests and Analytical Models for Welds and Grade 8.8 Bolts under Heating and Subsequent Cooling

F. Hanus, G. Zilli, J.-M. Franssen

The present article describes experimental tests performed on bolts and welds at the Centro Sviluppo Materiali under heating and subsequent cooling. Force-displacement laws…

Investigations on the Behavior of Steel Single Plate Beam End Framing Connections in Fire

Guanyu Hu, Michael Engelhardt

This paper summarizes the results of computational and experimental investigations on the behavior of steel simple beam end framing connections subjected to fire. Connections are…

Collapse Mechanisms of Composite Slab Panels in Fire

Anthony Abu, Verotiana Ramanitrarivo, Ian Burgess

A simple folding mechanism, which considers the contributions of internal unprotected beams and protected edge beams, has been proposed for isolated slab panels in fire…

Constitutive Equations and Empirical Creep Law of Structural Steel S460 at High Temperatures

Regine Schneider, Jörg Lange

Although the constitutive equations at elevated temperatures given in Eurocode 3 Part 1-2 are valid for steel grades up to S460, the experimental data base concerning the…
