The Practical Application of Structural Fire Engineering on a Retail Development in the UK
Florian Block, Chaoming Yu, Neal ButterworthThe British Building Regulations allow the application of performance based design methods to ensure the fire resistance of buildings. This has led to significant amounts of…
Recovery Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Strength Concrete After Fire Exposure
Takashi Horiguchi, Sofren Leo SuhaendiHigh-strength concrete shows particular characteristic behavior at elevated temperatures, such as explosive spalling, that is rarely observed in normal-strength concrete. This…
Quantitative Risk Analysis for The Response of Steel Beams in Fires
Po-Ta Huang, M. A. DelichatsiosThis paper develops a probabilistic approach though event trees for the scenarios and Monte-Carlo simulation for the propagation of uncertainties (e.g. in input parameters…
Different Types of Pre-Stressed Hollow Core Panels and Their Fire Resistance According to Eurocodes
Radim Čajka, Pavlína MatečkováThe authors' work deals with the calculation of the fire resistance of pre-stressed hollow panels. The thermal characteristics of air in the hollows were determined on the basis…
Studies on Normal Strength Concrete Cubes Subjected to Elevated Temperatures
Subhash Yaragal, K S Babu Narayan, Katta Venkataramana, Kishor Kulkarni, H C Chinnagiri Gowda, G R Reddy, Akanshu SharmaConcrete in structures is likely to be exposed to high temperatures during fire. The probability of its exposure to elevated temperatures is high due to natural hazards, accidents…
