In-plane stability of shallow concrete arches under fire

Yanni Bouras, Zora Vrcelj

Concrete arch structures are commonly constructed for various civil engineering applications. Despite their frequent use, there is a lack of research on the response and…

Fire tests of steel tension rod systems with intumescent coating

Mai Häßler, Dustin Häßler, Sascha Hothan, Simone Krüger

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of intumescent coating on tension rod systems and their components. Steel tension rod systems consist of tension rods…

Numerical model for the fire protection performance and the design of intumescent coatings on structural steel exposed to natural fires

Waldemar Weisheim, Peter Schaumann, Lisa Sander, Jochen Zehfuß

This paper aims to deal with the experimental and numerical investigations of the fire protection performance of a waterborne intumescent coating (IC) on structural steel in case…

Stability-based fire resistance duration of unbraced steel frames

Terence Ma, Lei Xu

The collapse of a structure resulting from the instability of steel frames due to fire is the worst failure mode to consider in fire-structural engineering, and should be avoided…

Effect of temperature on stress–strain behaviour of pre-damaged confined concrete

Virendra Kumar

This paper aims to study the residual test results under uni-axial compression of tie confined pre-damaged normal strength concrete short columns subjected to elevated…

Parametric investigation into the cross-sectional stress-strain behaviour, stiffness and thermal forces of steel, concrete and composite beams exposed to fire

Richard Walls, Celeste Viljoen, Hennie de Clercq

This paper aims to provide a parametric investigation into the behaviour of steel, concrete and composite beams exposed to fire. This investigation gives insight into the…

Virtual hybrid simulation of beams with web openings in fire

Mustesin Ali Khan, Liming Jiang, Katherine Ann Cashell, Asif Usmani

Perforated composite beams are an increasingly popular choice in the construction of buildings because they can provide a structurally and materially efficient design solution…
