Stability Behavior of Steel Building Structures in Fire Conditions: Role of Composite Floor System with Shear-Tab Connections

Anil Agarwal, Kristi Selden, Amit Varma

This paper presents a qualitative assessment of the influence of the composite floor system and shear-tab connections on the stability behavior of a typical mid-rise (10-story…

Analysis of the Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour of Steel-to-Timber Connections in Bending

Dhionis Dhima, Maxime Audebert, Abdelhamid Bouchaïr

Two different configurations of steel-to-timber connections are tested in bending in normal conditions and under ISO-fire exposure. To observe the influence of clearances in the…

Modelling The Fire Performance of Structural Timber-Concrete Composite Floors

James O'Neill, Anthony Abu, David Carradine, Peter Moss, Andrew Buchanan

This paper describes numerical modelling to predict the fire resistance of engineered timber-concrete composite floor systems. The paper describes 3D numerical modelling of the…

Performance-Based Fire Safety Design of Special Structures in Germany

Jochen Zehfuß, Christoph Klinzmann, Karen Paliga

The objective of this article is the illustration of the calculation of natural fires and fire resistance of structural members based on the Eurocodes of two types of special…

Chemoplastic Modelling for Concrete at High Temperature

Rabah Hammoud, Rachid Boukhili, Ammar Yahia

A numerical model to simulate the impact of high temperature on the behavior of conventional concrete under chemoplastic framework is developed and validated. The model is based…

Large Scale Test on a Steel Column Exposed to Localized Fire

Alexandra Byström, Johan Sjöström, Ulf Wickström, David Lange, Milan Veljkovic

A localized fire is a fire which in a compartment is unlikely to reach flash-over and uniform temperature distribution. Designing for localized fires is generally more difficult…

Experimental Analysis of Stability of Aluminium Beams in Case of Fire

O. van der Meulen, Frans Soetens, Johan Maljaars

Fire is often the dominant design criterion for aluminium structures. Present design rules for aluminium constructions in fire neglect both the decrease in susceptibility to local…

Investigation on the Behaviour of a Composite Floor Made of Cellular Beams in Fire Situation

Gisèle Bihina, Bin Zhao, Abdelhamid Bouchaïr

The main results from a numerical investigation on a composite floor made of cellular beams at elevated temperatures are presented. From a full-scale natural fire test, a 3D…
