Numerical modeling of structural frames with infills subjected to thermal exposure: State-of-the-art review

Puneet Kumar, Gaurav Srivastava

Reinforced concrete structural frames with masonry infills (infill-frames) are commonly used for construction worldwide. While the behavior of such frames has been studied…

Why Broadgate Phase 8 composite floor did not fail under fire: Numerical investigation using ANSYS® FEA code

Simon Mwangi

This paper aims to present the findings of a numerical investigation into the performance of the steel-concrete composite floor involved in Broadgate Phase 8 fire.

Mechanical modeling for predicting the axial restraint forces and rotations of steel top and seat angle connections at elevated temperatures

Sana El Kalash, Elie Hantouche

This paper aims at developing a mechanical-based model for predicting the thermally induced axial forces and rotation of steel top and seat angles connections with and without web…

Experimental investigation on SFRC behaviour under elevated temperature

Vadims Goremikins, Lukas Blesak, Josef Novak, Frantisek Wald

This work aims to present an experimental study of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) subjected to high temperature, especially focusing on residual behaviour.

Modeling structures in fire with SAFIR®: theoretical background and capabilities

Jean-Marc Franssen, Thomas Gernay

This paper aims to describe the theoretical background and main hypotheses at the basis of SAFIR^®, a nonlinear finite element software for modeling structures in fire. The paper…

Fire resistance of extruded hollow-core slabs

Kristian Hertz, Luisa Giuliani, Lars Schiøtt Sørensen

Prefabricated extruded hollow-core slabs are preferred building components for floor structures in several countries. It is therefore important to be able to document the fire…
