Thermal properties of jute fiber concrete at high temperature

Mitsuo Ozawa, Gyu-Yong Kim, Gyeong-Choel Choe, Min-Ho Yoon, Ryoichi Sato, Keitetsu Rokugo

The behavior of high-performance concrete (HPC) at high temperatures is very complex and also affects the global behavior of heated HPC-based structures. Researchers have also…

Probabilistic performance-based evaluation of a tall steel moment resisting frame under post-earthquake fires

Negar Elhami Khorasani, Maria Garlock, Paolo Gardoni

This paper aims to develop a framework to assess the reliability of structures subject to a fire following an earthquake (FFE) event. The proposed framework is implemented in one…

An integrated modelling strategy between a CFD and an FE software: Methodology and application to compartment fires

Nicola Tondini, Andrea Morbioli, Olivier Vassart, Sullivan Lechêne, Jean-Marc Franssen

This paper aims to present the assumptions and the issues that arise when developing an integrated modelling methodology between a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software…

Creep-free fire analysis of steel structures with Eurocode 3 material model

Neno Toric, Rui Rui Sun, Ian W. Burgess

This paper aims to propose a methodology to remove inherent implicit creep from the Eurocode 3 material model for steel and to present a creep-free analysis on simply supported…

Influence of web stiffeners on cold-formed steel beams subjected to fire

Joao Paulo C. Rodrigues, Luis Laim, Hélder David Craveiro

This paper aims to present the results of a study on the behaviour of cold-formed galvanized steel beams subjected to fire, using the results of a large programme of experimental…

Calibration of a simplified method for fire resistance assessment of partially encased composite beams

Iolanda Del Prete, Giuseppe Cefarelli, Emidio Nigro

This paper aims to deal with the evaluation of the bending moment resistance of partially encased composite beams, heated from below by the standard-time temperature curve (ISO…
