Residual properties of alkali-activated slag concrete exposed to elevated temperatures

Virendra Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Paswan

This paper attempted to study the alkali-activated (AA) binder consisting of 94% of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and 6% of blended powder of alkali metal hydroxide…

Behaviour of thin flush end-plate connections in a 3D bare steel frame under fire loading: experimental study

Seyed Vahid Khonsari, Shahin Nejati, Mohammadreza Rahdan, Mahdi Ahmadi

The paper aims to report a fire test conducted on a three-dimensional frame in order to investigate the behaviour of bare steel flush end-plate connections with relatively low…

Tension stiffening model for the finite element analysis of composite floor systems exposed to fire

Jason Martinez, Ann Jeffers

A methodology for producing an elevated-temperature tension stiffening model is presented.

Some recent developments and testing strategies relating to the passive fire protection of concrete using intumescent coatings: a review

Matt Ghiji, Paul Joseph, Maurice Guerrieri

Proposal of steel stress-strain relationships and simple analytical models of beams considering strain-rate effects at elevated temperatures

Fuminobu Ozaki, Takumi Umemura

In this study, engineering stress-strain relationships considering an effect of strain rate on steel materials at elevated temperatures were formulated and a simplified analytical…

Behavior of hot-dip zinc-aluminum coated steel under elevated temperature in case of fire

Thomas Pinger, Martin Mensinger, Maria-Mirabela Firan

Based on the advantages of conventional hot-dip galvanizing made from quasi-pure zinc melts in the event of fire, this article aims to perform a series of tests to verify whether…

Modelling concrete slabs subjected to localised fire action with OpenSees

Mhd Anwar Orabi, Jin Qiu, Liming Jiang, Asif Usmani

Reinforced concrete slabs in fire have been heavily studied over the last three decades. However, most experimental and numerical work focuses on long-duration uniform exposure to…
