A Post-Earthquake Fire Factor to Improve the Fire Resistance of Damaged Ordinary Reinforced Concrete Structures

Behrouz Behnam, Hamid Ronagh

Post-earthquake fire (PEF) is considered as one of the most problematic potentially possible disasters in urban areas, as it may result in a conflagration. Most standards and…

Thermal Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements

Hitesh Lakhani, Praveen Kamath, Pradeep Bhargava, Umesh Sharma, G Reddy

The paper presents a comparative study of thermal properties of reinforced concrete structural elements. A total of 2 beams and 2 columns were selected from literature [1-3]…

Ultimate Strength of Uniaxially Compressed Mild Steel Plate at Elevated Temperatures

V. Raja, M. Kumar, P. Jayabalan

Mild steel plates used in buildings and offshore platforms are prone to fire accidents. These plates being ductile are designed effectively for buckling and ultimate strength…

Review of the Punching Shear Behavior of Concrete Flat Slabs in Ambient and Elevated Temperature

Mehrafarid Ghoreishi, Ashutosh Bagchi, Mohamed Sultan

There are a number of benefits associated with two-way concrete flat slab construction for office buildings, parking garages and apartments - for example, reduced formwork, prompt…

Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Subjected to High Temperatures-A Review

Aijaz Zende, A. Kulkarni, Aslam Hutagi

This paper reviews the research carried on effects of fire on the mechanical and thermal properties on concrete. Fire in the structure causes higher temperature at the concrete…
