Fire Scenario and Structural Behaviour in Underground Parking Garages
Patrick Bamonte, Roberto FelicettiThe objective of this paper is to investigate the main factors governing the fire behaviour of a typical underground garage roof consisting of a flat concrete slab supported by a…
Advanced Fire Design of Timber Structures Using Computational Techniques - Simple Indeterminate Structures
D. Hopkin, J. El-Rimawi, V. Silberschmidt, T. LennonLarge timber buildings, formed from both light and heavy timber construction, are becoming increasingly common in Europe. Many multiple-occupancy timber buildings, such as…
Methods for Designing Very High Partitions
Dhionis DhimaThe large number of buildings in which partitions of ever-increasing heights are used encounter a practical difficulty due to the limited size of the furnaces in which fire…
Experimental Examination of the Structural Performance of Restrained HSS Steel Beams and their End Connections in Fire
Osama Salem, George Hadjisophocleous, Ehab ZalokThis paper describes a series of full-scale tests performed in the fire research facilities of Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. These tests are part of an experimental…
Analysis of Industrial Steel Portal Frames in Fire
Zhaohui Huang, Yuanyuan SongThis paper presents a robust numerical model for dealing with temporary instabilities which occur in the numerical analysis of steel structures under fire conditions. The model…
