Study on the residual performance of RC beams exposed to processed temperatures and fire

Sachin Vijaya Kumar, N. Suresh

The Reinforced Concrete(RC) elements are known to perform well during exposure to elevated temperatures. Hence, RC elements are widely used to resist the extreme heat developing…

Assessment of a fire-damaged concrete overpass: the Verona bus crash case study

Roberto Felicetti

This study aims to develop an assessment strategy for fire damaged infrastructures based on the implementation of quick diagnostic techniques and consistent interpretation…

Improving the robustness of steel frame structures under localised fire conditions

Riza Suwondo, Lee Cunningham, Martin Gillie, Made Suangga, Irpan Hidayat

The robustness of building structures in a fire has recently drawn wide attention. This study presents the progressive collapse analysis of steel frame building structures under…

Tensile and shear strength for a self-drilling screw and transition of failure-modes and shear-strengths for self-drilling screwed connections at elevated-temperatures

Fuminobu Ozaki, Ying Liu, Kai Ye

The purpose of this study is to clarify both tensile and shear strength for self-drilling screws, which are manufactured from high-strength, martensitic-stainless and austenitic…

Bending and flexural-buckling strength of steel members considering strain-rate-effects at elevated temperatures

Fuminobu Ozaki, Takumi Umemura

In this study, the bending strength, flexural buckling strength and collapse temperature of small steel specimens with rectangular cross-sections were examined by steady and…

Thermo-mechanical behavior of Glulam beam-to-girder assemblies with steel doweled connections before, during and after fire

Milad Shabanian, Nicole Leo Braxtan

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of intermediate-size glued-laminated beam-to-girder assemblies connected with T-shaped slotted-in steel…

Experimental and analytical investigation of using externally bonded, hybrid, fiber-reinforced polymers to repair and strengthen heated, damaged RC beams in flexure

Yousef Al Rjoub, Ala Obaidat, Ahmed Ashteyat, Khalid Alshboul

This study aims to conduct an experimental study and finite element model (FEM) to investigate the flexural behavior of heat-damaged beams strengthened/repaired by hybrid…
